A rare and alarming breach of Israeli defenses has left southern Israel reeling as a Houthi-launched drone strikes Eilat, injuring at least 22 civilians. Despite Israel`s advanced air defense systems, this unprecedented attack highlights growing security vulnerabilities in the region. In retaliation, Israeli forces conducted strikes on the Gaza Strip, resulting in 41 reported deaths and multiple casualties in hospitals. The Iran-backed Houthi movement confirmed the deployment of two drones, intensifying tensions and targeting both Israel and international shipping routes in support of the Palestinian cause. WATCH
