The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Friday released video footage showing its navy’s missile boats successfully intercepting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) launched from Iran over Mediterranean waters.

The incident comes amid heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, with Israel bracing for further drone barrages in response to its strikes on Iranian territory.

In a statement accompanying the footage, the IDF said the interceptions were conducted “by missile boats"—underscoring the capability of its multi-layered maritime defence systems

Israel carried out a series of strikes across Iran on Friday, hitting military installations and sites linked to its nuclear program.

The attacks reportedly killed at least three military officers, sharply escalating the risk of a full-scale war between the long-standing regional rivals.

Among the dead were three of Iran’s most senior military figures: General Mohammad Bagheri, who commanded the entire armed forces; General Hossein Salami, head of the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard; and General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who led the Guard’s ballistic missile program.

It is being described as the most serious assault on Iranian territory since the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s.

Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council will convene an emergency meeting on Friday at 3:00 pm (12:30 am Saturday IST) in response to Israel’s recent airstrikes on Iran, announced the Council’s current presidency, Guyana.

According to a diplomatic source, the meeting was requested by Iran and backed by Russia and China.
