360-degree protection

The IDF also stated that fighter jets carry out continual patrols of Israeli airspace, and air defense systems are on constant alert for threats so they can be deployed immediately and ensure 360-degree protection.

On Tuesday, two UAVs were launched at Eilat by the Iraqi-based Islamic resistance, and two UAVs launched by the Houthis were intercepted by the US over the Red Sea.
