The 9 November 2023 Eilat drone attack occurred on 9 November 2023 when the Iranian-backed Houthi militants of Yemen launched a drone attack on the southern Israeli city of Eilat. Warning sirens were not activated, and the missile hit an elementary school in the resort city, causing damage but no casualties. That same day, the IDF used its Arrow long-range defense missile to intercept another Houthi missile over the Red Sea. The Eilat attack was the first time that a Houthi missile had successfully struck Israel.
