Surveillance camera footage shows the moment an explosive drone struck a hotel in Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat earlier this evening.

The strike caused damage but no injuries, according to authorities.

The IDF said the drone was launched “from the east,” usually code for Yemen. The Houthis in Yemen have not taken responsibility.
