The IDF spokesperson updated that following alerts activated due to hostile aircraft penetration in the Dead Sea and Arava areas, "two suspicious aerial targets were intercepted." In the past hour, three UAVs from Iran were intercepted. Meanwhile, Israel's ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, attacked what he called "the hypocrisy and indifference of the international community" at the Security Council. He said that "Israel did not wait for the threat to materialize, but acted while you continued to issue condemnations and sign reports. This was an operation to save lives not only in Israel but throughout the free world."
