Yet another drone launched by the Houthis in Yemen at Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat was shot down by air defenses, the military says.
The drone was intercepted outside of the country’s borders, and therefore no sirens were activated “according to protocol,” the IDF says.
It marks the fourth Houthi drone shot down in the Eilat area within an hour.
