Israeli air defense systems were activated in Eilat, southern Israel, following initial reports of explosions. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed they are investigating the reports. The explosions were initially believed to be linked to a potential Houthi attack, following the group's vow to respond to Israeli airstrikes on Hodeidah. However, the IDF later stated that no projectiles were fired and no interceptor missiles were launched in Eilat. The IDF assured that there is no indication of a security incident in the area. Red Alert sirens were also sounded in Eilat.
