Eilat

Israeli prosecutors charged 23-year-old Eilat resident Ali Gabar, alleging he connected over Telegram with an Iranian intelligence contact, accepted hundreds of dollars via PayPal and other digital wallets, and filmed the Israel Air Force's Ovda base, its access roads, and other sensitive sites and homes.

On Shabbat morning, Israel's air defenses shot down a ballistic missile fired from Yemen; by late morning, a cruise missile was also intercepted. That evening, sirens in Eilat warned of a hostile aircraft. The Iran-aligned group says it is joining the war and threatens to close the Bab el-Mandeb strait.
