JERUSALEM, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) — Yemen's Houthi rebel movement on Sunday launched six drones toward Israel, one of which hit Ramon airport in the south of the country and wounded two people, Israeli authorities said.
According to the Magen David Adom rescue service, a 63-year-old man suffered shrapnel wounds to his limbs during the incident, while a 52-year-old woman was injured in a fall. Both victims were taken to Eilat's Yoseftal Hospital.
An Israel Airports Authority spokesman said the drone landed in the arrivals hall of the relatively small Ramon Airport, located about 18 kilometers north of Eilat.
“Airport operations have been suspended, with takeoffs and landings suspended,” a spokesman said, adding that the authority was working to restore normal services as soon as possible.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that no alarm sirens were triggered when the drone struck. “The incident is currently under investigation,” the IDF said in a statement.
According to the military, three more drones were intercepted before entering Israeli territory, while two others crashed before reaching Israel. –0–
