Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says the premier spoke with Eilat Mayor Eli Lankri after a Houthi UAV hit the southern city earlier this evening, injuring over 20 people, including two people hospitalized in serious condition.
Netanyahu told Lankri that “any attack on Israel’s cities will be met with a harsh and painful blow against the Houthi regime, as has already been proven in the past.”
The drone was the second to breach the southern resort city in a week, after another UAV launched by Yemen’s Houthi rebels hit a hotel on September 18, sparking a fire but not causing any injuries
According to the PMO, Netanyahu told Lankri that he spoke with the senior IDF command about improving Eilat’s air defenses.
