Israel Air Force jets intercepted a cruise missile heading for the Red Sea resort city of Eilat on Wednesday afternoon.
The missile did not enter Israeli territory, the military said.
今天早些时候，一枚巡航导弹从也门发射，瞄准埃拉特，以色列空军在穿越以色列领土前将其拦截。 由 JNS 提供 周三下午，以色列空军战机拦截了一枚飞向红海度假城市埃拉特的巡航导弹。 军方表示，这枚导弹没有进入以色列领土。 Israel has bolstered its naval presence in the Red Sea area following repeated missile and drone attacks from Yemen. Missile boats were deployed “in accordance with the assessment of the situation and as part of the increased defense efforts in the region,” the IDF said. On Nov. 9, Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen fired a ballistic missile at Eilat, which was intercepted by an Arrow 3 exoatmospheric hypersonic anti-ballistic missile, in the Israeli aerial-defense system’s first operational use. That same day, a drone launched from Syria caused a large explosion at an elementary school in Eilat, injuring one civilian. The IDF struck assets in Syria in response, but did not specify which organization was behind the UAV attack or what targets were hit in Syria. 在也门多次发动导弹和无人机袭击后，以色列加强了在红海地区的海军存在。 以色列国防军表示，导弹艇的部署是“根据形势评估，也是该地区加强防御努力的一部分”。 11 月 9 日，伊朗支持的也门胡塞叛军向埃拉特发射了一枚弹道导弹，导弹被箭 3 大气层外高超音速反弹道导弹拦截，这是以色列防空系统的首次作战使用。 同一天，一架从叙利亚发射的无人机在埃拉特一所小学引发大爆炸，造成一名平民受伤。作为回应，以色列国防军袭击了叙利亚境内的资产，但没有具体说明是哪个组织是无人机袭击的幕后黑手，也没有具体说明叙利亚境内的哪些目标遭到袭击。 A week earlier, Israel’s Arrow 2 aerial-defense system for the first time intercepted a surface-to-surface missile fired from the Red Sea area. Earlier this week, the Houthis hijacked an Israeli-linked ship on the Red Sea. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed on Sunday that the Houthis hijacked the Galaxy Leader vehicle carrier, calling it a “very grave incident of global consequence.” ONE INJURED IN DRONE EXPLOSION AT EILAT SCHOOL “The ship departed Turkey on its way to India, staffed by civilians of various nationalities, not including Israelis. It is not an Israeli ship,” the military added. The Bahaman-flagged Galaxy Leader is registered by a British company partially owned by Israeli tycoon Abraham Ungar. 一周前，以色列的“箭2”防空系统首次拦截了从红海地区发射的地对地导弹。 本周早些时候，胡塞武装在红海劫持了一艘与以色列有联系的船只。以色列国防军周日证实，胡塞武装劫持了银河领袖号航母，称这是“具有全球后果的非常严重的事件”。 埃拉特学校无人机爆炸造成一人受伤 “这艘船从土耳其出发前往印度，船上人员有不同国籍的平民，其中不包括以色列人。这不是一艘以色列船只，”军方补充道。 悬挂巴哈曼国旗的 Galaxy Leader 是由一家英国公司注册的，该公司由以色列大亨亚伯拉罕·昂加尔 (Abraham Ungar) 部分拥有。
