One person killed and several others injured in a suspected Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv

According to reports, Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for the rare drone attack on Tel Aviv. However, the Israeli military spokesman stated that Israel's defense systems had picked up the drone, and no air-raid sirens were activated to warn civilians of the attack. The Israeli Air Force identified an approaching drone but did not confirm its origin. Subsequent reports revealed that a Yemeni Houthi rebel drone slipped through Israel's air defense system, penetrating defenses without triggering the city's warning sirens. The Houthis claimed their new drone, called "Yafa," is capable of bypassing enemy interception systems.
At this stage, the Israel Police and bomb disposal experts, along with emergency and rescue forces, continue to operate at the scene and are preparing to reopen traffic routes.
Following the incident of an explosion in the Tel Aviv area, large police forces have arrived at the scene and are working to secure the area and conduct searches for suspicious objects and additional threats.
We are investigating why the UAV was not identified as a threat and intercepted before it struck.
The security system will settle the score with all who try to harm the state of Israel, or sends terrorism against it, in a decisive and surprising manner.
We are in close contact with Israeli authorities to fully investigate the source of the explosion and its intended target.
An important statement by the official spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, in the coming hours to announce a qualitative military operation.
