Overview

• The Israel Defense Forces said a UAV launched from Yemen fell in Eilat after interception attempts and that rescue teams operated at the impact site.
• Magen David Adom reported about 20 wounded, including two in serious condition with shrapnel injuries, with patients taken to Yoseftal Hospital.
• Israel Police said bomb disposal experts were examining the object and warned the public to avoid the area and any remnants.
• Israeli media and officials reported the drone flew at very low altitude, complicating Iron Dome engagement, with two interceptors fired and fighter jets unable to intercept.
• Eilat has been targeted repeatedly in recent weeks as part of Houthi attacks on Israel since late 2023, and Israel has carried out strikes on Houthi‑controlled areas in Yemen.
