Sirens sounded in Eilat and Be'er Ora, near Ramon Airport, at approximately 1:30 PM UTC on September 11th, 2025, due to a "suspicious aerial target," the military announced. The incident concluded shortly after, with no reports of injuries, according to the IDF. The sirens were triggered by a suspected drone infiltration, as reported by a military correspondent. This event follows earlier interceptions by the Israeli Air Force of unmanned aircraft launched from Yemen shortly before 12:16 PM UTC. Separately, Air Force Commander Major General Tomer Bar revealed this week that F-16 "Barak" fighter jets attacked targets in Iran without the need for aerial refueling during Operation "Param." This capability, attributed to jets that have been in service for nearly 40 years, can significantly increase the volume of attacks in distant arenas, according to Major General Bar's statement at the Ramat David base exchange ceremony.
