Overview

• Magen David Adom said 22 people were wounded in Eilat, including two in serious condition with shrapnel injuries, after a drone hit the city center near hotels and shops.
• The IDF said interception attempts failed and opened an Air Force investigation, with officials citing the drone’s very low flight path as complicating detection and interception.
• The Houthi movement claimed or praised the attack and said it launched drones toward Israel, an incident widely noted as a rare breach of Israel’s missile defenses.
• Within a day, Israeli aircraft struck multiple targets in Sanaa that the military identified as Houthi command, security and intelligence sites, drone depots and training camps.
• Houthi-run authorities reported at least 8–9 dead and more than 140 wounded in Sanaa, figures not independently verified, and Israel later said it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen.
