On September 24, a deadly drone strike by Iran-backed Houthi rebels hit Israel’s southern port city of Eilat, injuring at least 22 people — two critically. The UAV crashed near a popular hotel, triggering fire, panic, and mass evacuations. Israeli officials admitted their air defences failed, while the Houthis claimed responsibility, citing solidarity with Palestinians. Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed a “painful blow” in retaliation. As Houthi attacks escalate, tensions in the region continue to rise.
