JERUSALEM (AP) — A drone fired from Yemen struck the southern Israeli city of Eilat on Wednesday. Medics said at least 22 people were wounded, two of them seriously. It wasn’t immediately clear if they were hurt by the drone or an interceptor.

In the Gaza Strip, at least 19 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire, according to local hospitals.

Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have regularly fired drones and missiles at Israel — and attacked international shipping — in what they say is solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The vast majority of the fire directed at Israel has been intercepted or fallen in open areas without wounding anyone.

Israel has carried out retaliatory airstrikes on Yemen after past attacks.
