The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for a drone launched toward Israel’s Red Sea resort city of Eilat this evening.
In a statement, the Houthis claim to have launched a “salvo of cruise missiles and drones that targeted a number of vital and military targets” in southern Israel.
The IDF said that one drone was shot down over Eilat this evening, and earlier today, a cruise missile from Yemen was intercepted before reaching Israel’s borders.
