Alarms were activated in Eilat and the surrounding region on September 14th, 2025, at approximately 7:50 PM UTC, due to a false identification, according to Nitzan Shapiro via N12 chat. The specific nature of the false identification that triggered the alarms has not been detailed. However, reports indicate that Ramon Airport was also affected by this incident. The IDF conducted a raid on a multi-storey tower in Gaza City between 7:02 PM and 7:17 PM UTC on the same day, which they stated was used by Hamas for surveillance purposes. This raid in Gaza City, confirmed by Avichay Adraee on X, involved Hamas planting surveillance and information collection points within the building prior to the operation. The IDF stated that measures were taken to minimize civilian casualties during the raid, including population warnings and the use of precision munitions. Previous IDF operations in Gaza City included a strike on the Unknown Soldier Tower on September 14th, 2025, between 6:17 PM and 6:47 PM UTC for similar alleged Hamas surveillance use.
