Israeli Interceptors Light Up Eilat Skies After Fresh Houthi Drone Launch From Yemen

TOI.in / Jun 09, 2026, 08.00 AM IST

Houthi drone attack on Eilat triggers Israeli air defence response as regional tensions escalate sharply. Sirens sounded across Israel’s southern Red Sea city after an Iran-backed Houthi drone launched from Yemen approached Eilat. The Israeli military says the drone was intercepted before impact, with dramatic footage reportedly showing interceptors streaking through the sky. The incident follows two ballistic missile launches by the Houthis earlier the same day. Eilat’s strategic location makes it a frequent target for attacks originating from Yemen. The latest developments also come amid reports of simultaneous drone alerts linked to Hezbollah activity from Lebanon.#Israel #Eilat #Houthis #Yemen #DroneAttack #RedSea #IDF #MiddleEast #Iran #Hezbollah #MissileAttack #BreakingNews #IsraelNews #RegionalConflict #AirDefence
