Israel Says It Shot Down Two Yemen Drones
Israeli military spokeswoman Ella Waweya confirmed the interceptions were carried out within the preceding hour by the Israeli Air Force. Prior to the official statement, Israeli media outlets had reported air raid sirens blaring across the southern Red Sea resort city of Eilat amid warnings of approaching aerial threats. No further operational details were disclosed.
The announcement followed a separate claim by Yemen's Houthi movement, which stated it had executed two strikes against sensitive military installations in southern Israel, deploying both cruise missiles and drones.
The exchange marks the latest chapter in a rapidly deteriorating regional conflict that ignited after Israel and the US launched a major offensive against Iran on Feb. 28. That campaign has since claimed more than 1,340 lives, among them then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Tehran has since answered with waves of drone and missile attacks directed at Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf states hosting American military forces — strikes that have inflicted casualties, damaged critical infrastructure, and sent shockwaves through global markets and international air travel.
