IDF says it intercepted Houthi drone strike off Eilat coast

A drone launched by the Houthis in Yemen at Israel was intercepted by the Israeli Air Force a short while ago, the military says.

The drone was shot down off the coast of Eilat, but no sirens sounded “according to protocol,” the IDF says, because it did not pose a threat.
