A drone launched from Yemen struck Eilat on Wednesday, wounding at least 22 people, according to medics.
The Israeli military confirmed the drone fell on the Red Sea coast after defenses failed to intercept it.
Emergency responders reported two people sustained severe injuries while others suffered lighter wounds.
Authorities Secure Crash Area
Police urged residents to avoid the crash site as bomb experts inspected the drone debris for explosives.
The Israeli Defense Forces told citizens to follow Home Front Command instructions for ongoing safety measures.
Officials said investigations continue to determine whether injuries came from the drone or interceptor activity.
Houthi Strikes Escalate Regional Tensions
Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen have repeatedly launched missiles and drones at Israel since the Gaza war began.
The group also attacks Red Sea shipping lanes, disrupting global trade and forcing rerouted voyages around Africa.
Israel and the US have retaliated with strikes on Houthi sites, killing senior leaders and sparking vows of revenge.
