Yemen seen as source of fire on Eilat
Israeli officials suspect that a projectile shot toward Eilat was launched from Yemen, the Ynet news site reports.
On Twitter, a spokesperson for the Iran-backed Houthi militia says it will deliver an “important statement” in the coming hours, widely expected to address the suspected launches toward Israel.
Waad al-Haq, a Yemeni group linked to the Iran-backed Katai’b Hezbollah in Iraq, says online that Eilat was targeted from Yemen.
