JERUSALEM (AP) — A drone fired from Yemen has struck the southern Israeli city of Eilat. Medics said at least 20 people were wounded, two of them seriously.
It wasn’t immediately clear if they were hurt by the drone or an interceptor. Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have regularly fired drones and missiles at Israel in what they say is solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
The vast majority have been intercepted or fallen in open areas without wounding anyone.
