Israeli Military Responds to Drone Attack on Eilat with Strikes on Syria

Israel's military responded to a drone strike on the southern Israeli city of Eilat by launching a strike on the group responsible, which they did not identify. The incident follows a series of attacks from the region since the Israeli fighting with Gaza's Hamas militants began on October 7. The Iran-aligned Houthi movement in Yemen claimed responsibility for firing ballistic missiles at Israeli targets, including military targets in Eilat. Israel's military intercepted a missile near the Red Sea and a suspicious target in the Negev desert. The drone strike caused light damage, and Israel has increased its naval presence in the Red Sea.
