This is the best summary I could come up with:
A spokesman for Yemen’s Iranian-allied Houthis said the group had attacked the Israeli Red Sea resort city of Eilat on Saturday with a swarm of drones.
In late October, drones caused explosions that rocked two other Red Sea towns, which Israel said Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi movement sent them to strike its territory.
A US guided-missile destroyer also shot down 14 drones launched by Yemen’s Houthis in the Red Sea on Saturday, the US Central Command said in a statement.
“In the early morning hours of December 16 (Sanna time) the US Arliegh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS CARNEY (DDG 64), operating in the Red Sea, successfully engaged 14 unmanned aerial systems launched as a drone wave from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen,” read the statement.
"The UAS were assessed to be one-way attack drones and were shot down with no damage to ships in the area or reported injuries.
Part of the Iran-aligned “Axis of Resistance”, the Houthis have been attacking vessels in Red Sea shipping lanes and firing drones and missiles at Israel.
