Drone Attack in Tel Aviv
A powerful explosion occurred at 03:00 local time in a drone attack near the US Embassy in central Tel Aviv. One person was killed in the explosion, while four people were injured by shrapnel and the effects of the explosion. The Houthis in Yemen announced that they carried out the attack with a new drone called “Jaffa.” The Houthis stated that they targeted Tel Aviv in a way that radars could not detect and air defense systems could not intercept. They also announced that they would continue to target central Israel and that Tel Aviv was an “unsafe area” for them.
