Eilat building damaged after hostile aircraft infiltrates Israel from Jordan

A hostile aircraft infiltrated into Israeli territory from Jordan on Sunday night and fell in the area of Eilat, the military said.
The aircraft caused minor damage to a building, and no casualties were reported, the IDF added.
Later, the IDF clarified that the aircraft landed in the area of an IDF base.
Earlier on Sunday night, hostile aircraft intrusion sirens sounded in Eilat and its surroundings.
Iran-backed Iraqi terrorists reportedly responsible
According to a Kan News report early Monday morning, Iran-backed Iraqi terrorists took responsibility for the hostile aircraft infiltration.
Hostile aircraft intrusion alerts sounded in Eilat in November. However, no aircraft entered Israeli territory.
In late October, the IDF intercepted a suspicious target that approached the vicinity of the city.
