Late Sunday night, the Red Sea hotspot of Eilat was shaken by sirens 🚨 as Israeli forces intercepted a drone launched from Yemen, the army confirmed.
According to the Israeli military, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was likely shot down by the Air Force, triggering sirens over the resort city. Locals were warned of possible falling debris, but luckily, no injuries were reported.
This marks the second strike of the day: earlier at dawn, Houthi fighters fired a missile toward central Israel targeting “sensitive sites,” which was also intercepted.
Police conducted sweeps around Eilat to ensure safety, while Houthi sources have yet to respond publicly.
For many in South Asia and Southeast Asia familiar with beach vibes—think Goa’s waves or Bali’s sunsets—the idea of a drone alert at a chill waterfront spot is a sharp wake-up call. As tensions spill over, keeping an eye on travel safety and regional dynamics is key.
Stay tuned for updates and travel tips to stay safe in volatile hotspots. 🌍🛡️
