Israel deployed its ship-mounted defense system, the C-Dome, for the first time against a "suspicious" aerial target near the city of Eilat. The system, a naval version of the Iron Dome, intercepted the target, with no reported injuries or damage. While the IDF did not confirm if the target was a drone, it marks the C-Dome's inaugural operational use. Mounted on Sa'ar 6-class corvettes, the C-Dome utilizes the same interceptor technology as the Iron Dome, providing an additional layer of defense against potential threats to Israeli airspace.
