WATCH: IDF Releases Dramatic Footage of Drone Interceptions Over Regional Waters

The IDF has released the first official footage of its ongoing military response to Iranian drone attacks, capturing real-time interceptions by both the Israeli Air Force and Navy.

In a dramatic escalation of hostilities, Iran launched a series of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) toward Israel. The newly released footage shows successful interceptions by Israeli fighter jets and missile ships, reinforcing Israel's multi-layered defense capability amid mounting regional tension.

One clip, filmed from an Israeli Navy missile ship, shows a high-speed interception of an incoming UAV in open waters. Another video documents a fighter jet's midair takedown of a drone headed toward Israeli airspace.

These visuals come as part of Israel’s broader counterattack on Iranian military infrastructure, including strikes on missile systems, radar facilities, and drone bases deep inside Iran.

An IDF spokesperson stated: “We are fully engaged in defending Israeli civilians from Iranian aggression. These successful interceptions reflect the strength, readiness, and coordination of our forces in every domain, land, air, and sea.”

The IDF urges the public to follow Home Front Command directives and remain in or near protected spaces during this period of heightened alert. Further updates and footage are expected as the situation continues to develop.
