Late Sunday night, sirens blared in Eilat as Yemen’s Houthi forces sent a drone zipping over the Red Sea toward Israel’s southern tip. According to the Israeli army, the unmanned aircraft was likely intercepted by the Israeli Air Force, sending fragments scattering but causing no casualties. 🛡️
This was the second strike of the day: before dawn, the Houthis had already launched a missile toward central Israel, claiming they were targeting sensitive sites. Once again, Israel’s air defenses intercepted the threat with zero injuries reported. 💥
Police in Eilat checked beaches and neighborhoods for any dangerous debris, but no one was hurt. Meanwhile, the Houthis have stayed silent since one of their boldest moves yet. 💬
As the sun rises over Eilat’s turquoise waters, life goes on – hotels are open, cafes are buzzing, and tourists are snapping selfies by the pier. But this latest flare-up shows how quickly tensions can ripple across the Red Sea. 🌅📲
