Following a salvo of drones launched at southern Israel this afternoon, the Iran-backed Houthis claimed responsibility, saying the strike was intended to take out military targets in Eilat and was conducted in coordination with Iran and Hezbollah.

The IDF said it intercepted some of the drones, but lost contact with others, which presumably crashed somewhere unknown.

While southern Israel was under attack, missiles were fired at central Israel from Iran and at northern Israel from Hezbollah, triggering sirens across the region.
