Drone fired from Yemen hits southern Israeli city of Eilat. Medics say 22 people were wounded

A drone strike from Yemen injured 22 in Eilat, with two seriously wounded and Israeli interception attempts failing, marking the third recent UAV attack on the city.

  • On Wednesday, a drone launched from Yemen struck the southern Israeli city of Eilat, injuring at least 20 people, Magen David Adom reported.
  • Since March 18, the Iran-backed Houthis have launched nearly 90 ballistic missiles and at least 40 drones toward Israel, and the group claimed responsibility for the Eilat attack on Wednesday.
  • Two Iron Dome interceptor missiles were fired but failed, and security officials are probing how the low-flying drone evaded multilayered air defences on Wednesday.
  • The IDF dispatched troops and police to assist evacuations and medical care in Eilat, while Israel Katz, Israeli Defense Minister, vowed retaliation and Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister, discussed improving aerial response.
  • The attack came during Rosh Hashanah when Eilat is usually crowded, as Israel retaliates with strikes damaging Hodeidah port in Houthi-controlled Yemen.
