"Israel's military says a drone launched from Yemen has struck the southern city of Eilat, and rescuers report that at least 20 people are wounded, including two in serious condition, as Israel conducts its genocidal war on Gaza. A military statement said the drone fell in the area of Eilat on the Red Sea coast on Wednesday after air defences failed to intercept it."
"The public is requested to continue to follow the Home Front Command's defensive guidelines and further guidelines issued, it said on Telegram. The Magen David Adom emergency medical service said two people were seriously injured while others sustained moderate to minor injuries. Police said bomb disposal experts were examining the nature of the object and warned the public to avoid approaching the crash site or touching any remnants that may contain explosives."
"Since Israel launched its war on Gaza in October 2023, the Houthis have carried out drone and missile attacks against it. They have also targeted vessels linked to Israel in the Red Sea, disrupting maritime trade passing through the water channel. Most of the dozens of missiles and drones launched have been intercepted or fallen short of Israeli territory. Israel has carried out numerous attacks across Yemen, including on the capital, Sanaa."

The Houthi movement has launched drones and missiles at Israel and targeted vessels in the Red Sea since October 2023. Most launches were intercepted or fell short of Israeli territory, while Israel has carried out strikes across Yemen, including on Sanaa. Authorities will investigate why interceptors failed to engage.
