Shafaq News – Middle East
At least 50 were injured, some in critical condition, in a drone strike that targeted a tourist center in the southern Israeli city of Eilat on Wednesday, according to Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency service.
The Israeli army confirmed that the drone had infiltrated Israeli airspace from Yemen before exploding during interception attempts over Eilat.
Later, Yemen’s Houthi group claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that two drones had targeted the Umm al-Rashrash area (Eilat). The group pledged to continue such operations until the Israeli war on Gaza ends and the blockade is lifted.
