BBCRescuers say 20 people have been injured in southern Israel after the Israeli military said a drone was launched from Yemen.
The Israel Defense Forces said the drone struck the town of Eilat on the Red Sea coast, with attempts made to intercept it.
The Magen David Adom emergency medical service said 20 people were taken to Yoseftal Hospital – two with serious limb injuries.
Israeli media has described it as a Houthi strike but the Yemeni group has not officially claimed responsibility.
Israeli TV stations broadcast live footage said to be of the drone strike and the area it hit, which showed billowing smoke rising from the site.
The attack, if claimed by the Houthis, would be one of the most serious launched by the group in terms of casualties.
In July 2024, one person was killed and 10 injured in a Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv when a drone struck an apartment building near the US embassy branch office.
