Rescuers say 20 people have been injured in southern Israel after the Israeli military said a drone was launched from Yemen.<\/p>\n

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the drone struck the town of Eilat on the Red Sea coast, with attempts made to intercept it.<\/p>\n

The Magen David Adom emergency medical service said 20 people were taken to Yoseftal Hospital \u2013 two with serious limb injuries.<\/p>\n

Israeli media has described it as a Houthi strike but the Yemeni group has not officially claimed responsibility.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cIDF troops, alongside the Israel Police, were dispatched to the area of Eilat after receiving a report of a UAV attack,\u201d the IDF said in a statement.<\/p>\n

It added that troops and the police were assisting in evacuating the area and a helicopter had been deployed to evacuate the wounded from the scene.<\/p>\n

The military urged people to stay in protected areas for 10 minutes should they receive an alert.<\/p>\n

The attack, if claimed by the Houthis, would be one of the most serious launched by the group in terms of casualties.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Earlier in September, one person was wounded when a Houthi drone hit Ramon Airport, just north of Eilat.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
