Hebrew media reported that six drones were launched from Iraq toward the Golan Heights and occupied Palestine on Wednesday. The launches occurred during four separate operations throughout the day. 

"Israeli" military said that two drones were detected coming from the east towards Eilat. One was intercepted by the navy’s Sa'ar 5 missile ship, while the other crashed inside the city.

The attack resulted in one of the drones exploding in Eilat, injuring two people.

Military analyst Nidal Abu Zaid suggested the incident may be linked to threats from the Houthis, underscoring ongoing support for the resistance front and Hezbollah.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility for the drone attack on Eilat.
