Yemen’s Houthis says that they carried out a joint military operation with the Iraqi Islamic Resistance targeting Israel’s port city of Eilat, using “a number of drones.”
Early this morning, the IDF said a suspected drone heading toward Israel from the direction of the Red Sea was shot down by a fighter jet.
Residents of the southernmost city of Eilat reported hearing a blast at the time of the incident.
