The Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for today’s drone attack on Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat.
In a statement, the Iran-backed terror group claims to have launched two drones at two separate targets in Eilat.
According to Israeli authorities, only one drone hit Eilat, injuring over 20, including two men hospitalized in serious condition. The second drone likely failed to reach the country.
The Houthis also claim to have launched several more drones at targets in Eilat and Beersheba yesterday. There were no reports of drones reaching Israel from Yemen on Tuesday or any being intercepted, indicating that they all failed to threaten the country.
Since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis in Yemen have launched nearly 90 ballistic missiles and at least 41 drones at Israel, according to a Times of Israel tally based on information provided by the Israel Defense Forces.
