"The drone attack in Eilat follows a series of 12 strikes carried out by Israel on Tuesday against Yemen's port of Hodeidah. An Israeli air strike in late August also killed Ahmed al-Rahawi, the prime minister of the Houthi government in Yemen's capital, Sanaa. Thursday's attack comes four days after Israeli strikes on the Yemeni capital and the northern province of al-Jawf killed more than 40 people, according to the Houthis."
"Since Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, the Houthis have carried out drone and missile attacks against Israel, saying that they have been conducted in solidarity with Palestinians under fire. They have also targeted vessels in the Red Sea. That has led to air strikes not just from Israel, but also from the United States and the United Kingdom."
A drone launched from the east crashed in the southern Israeli city of Eilat, falling in the hotel's zone and causing material damage but no casualties. The strike appears linked to Houthi rebel actions directed at Israel, which have included drones, missiles and attacks on Red Sea vessels since October 2023. Israel carried out a series of 12 strikes on Yemen's Hodeidah port on Tuesday and intensified strikes after a September 9 incident, with an August air strike killing Houthi prime minister Ahmed al-Rahawi. Houthis control much of northern Yemen; front lines have been largely frozen since 2022.
