The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for launching drones at southern Israel this afternoon.
In a statement, the Houthis say they launched a "barrage of cruise missiles and drones targeting several vital and military sites belonging to the Israeli enemy" in Eilat.
According to the IDF, several drones launched at the Eilat area were intercepted. The military said it lost contact with others, indicating they crashed somewhere.
The terror group also claims that the attack was a "joint operation" with Iran and Hezbollah. At the same time, an Iranian ballistic missile salvo targeted central Israel and sirens also sounded in the north due to Hezbollah rocket fire.

The IDF issues a statement on its strikes earlier on Iran's largest petrochemical facility, saying the site had been used to produce materials for missiles.
"At the site in Asaluyeh, a central production infrastructure had been established for materials used in the manufacture of explosives and propellants for ballistic missiles and additional weaponry," the military says, adding that "the site serves as a significant hub for producing essential components for the missile industry of the Iranian terror regime."
Over the weekend, Israel struck another major petrochemical site in southern Iran.
"The IDF has now targeted Iran’s two biggest petrochemical complexes, rendering more than 85% of Iran’s petrochemical export capacity inoperable," the military says.

The IDF Home Front Command says it will be extending the warning times for rocket fire on communities in the Golan Heights and Sea of Galilee area, after carrying out a similar move for Lebanon border communities.
The latest move means that in many communities where the time to seek shelter was immediate or within 15-30 seconds, there will now be slightly more time.
The Home Front Command, along with other military bodies, analyzed Hezbollah's rocket fire and the IDF's detection systems, and determined that numerous communities can get slightly longer warning times.
The changes will apply to Katzrin, Buq'ata, Ein Qiniyye, Majdal Shams, Mas'ade, and several communities of the Golan Regional Council and the Emek Hayarden Regional Council.
They include 14 communities moving from immediate to 15 seconds; 8 communities from immediate to 30 seconds; 7 communities from 15 seconds to 30 seconds; 7 communities from 15 seconds to 45 seconds; and 8 communities from 30 seconds to 45 seconds.
There are another five communities on the northern border, where the time to seek shelter was 15 or 60 seconds, where no changes will be made at this stage.
The move will take effect starting tomorrow at noon, according to the Home Front Command.

The IDF announces that it has deployed a sixth division to southern Lebanon amid the ongoing ground offensive against Hezbollah.
The 98th Division, an elite formation of paratroopers and commando units, in the past week began "targeted ground operations to additional objectives in southern Lebanon," the military says.
