Gunfire-Like Noises Heard Off Eilat Were Naval Drill, City Says
Residents and vacationers on Eilat’s southern beaches reported hearing gunfire coming from the sea. The reports prompted concern among people at the shoreline, but no actual security incident was involved.
The municipality said the sounds were not connected to any attack or emergency. According to the city, they came from a naval exercise by the Israeli Navy.
No further details were provided about the location, timing, or scale of the drill. The city’s statement was intended to reassure the public that the noises were part of routine military training rather than a security event.
