The status of Eilat in terms of the Second Festival Day

Question

Is Eilat considered part of the Land of Israel, and if so, in what respect?

Answer

Greetings,
I understand that the question pertains to whether the law of the Second Festival Day applies in Eilat.
Indeed, the authorities are divided on this matter. According to the halacha, one should observe two days of the festival as a stringency.
