The attack, which triggered sirens in the city, sending some 53,000 running for shelters, came some 24 hours after the Iranian proxy launched two missiles at Israel in a coordinated strike with Iran
The Israel Defense Forces intercepted a drone launched at the Jewish state by Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists, the military said early on Tuesday.
The attack triggered air raid sirens in the Red Sea resort city of Eilat shortly after midnight, sending the city’s roughly 53,000 residents and thousands of tourists to bomb shelters.
“Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago regarding a hostile aircraft infiltration in the area of Eilat, a suspicious aerial target from Yemen was intercepted,” the IDF subsequently announced. No injuries or damage were reported.
