At least 20 people have been wounded after a drone crashed and exploded in the southern Israeli port city of Eilat, Israeli media has reported, citing Israel's ambulance service.
Two people were said to be in critical condition.
Israeli Army Radio said a drone flew at a low altitude above the ground, making it difficult for the Iron Dome missile defence system to intercept it.
The Times of Israel reported that paramedics were providing medical treatment and referring the wounded to Yoseftal Hospital nearby.
Israel's military said the drone was launched from Yemen.
