The IDF confirms that a drone launched “from the east,” normally code for Yemen, struck Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat a short while ago.
The army often describes attacks launched by Yemen’s Houthi rebels as “from the east.”
No injuries are reported in the attack.
Footage from the scene shows rescue forces working to extinguish a blaze sparked by the drone impact.
