Overview

• The IDF reported that a drone launched from Yemen fell near the entrance of a hotel in Eilat, and police said there were no injuries as the area was sealed for investigation.
• Air-raid sirens sounded in Eilat before the impact, and search and rescue teams operated at the scene.
• Roughly an hour after the Eilat incident, the Israeli Air Force said it intercepted another aircraft launched from Yemen.
• Earlier in September, a drone from Yemen struck the arrivals hall at Ramon International Airport, lightly wounding five, and the IDF later said the aircraft had been detected but not classified as hostile.
• This week, sirens in Jerusalem and central Israel followed the interception of a Houthi-fired missile after Israeli strikes on Hodeidah, which the IDF describes as a hub for Houthi military infrastructure and weapons transfers.
