"Israel's C-Dome Successfully Intercepts Unrecognized Aircraft in Historic Naval Defense Operation"
Israel used its seaborne missile defence system, C-Dome, for the first time to intercept a drone approaching from the Red Sea near the port city of Eilat, a frequent target for launches by Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. The system, installed on a Sa'ar 6-class corvette missile ship, successfully shot down the UAV, which had crossed into the area of the Gulf of Eilat. C-Dome, developed by Israeli defense contractor Rafael, utilizes the same interceptors as the land-based Iron Dome and is part of Israel's multi-tier air defense array.
