Yemen’s Houthis’ military spokesperson says the group attacked Tel Aviv with a drone and will continue to target Israel in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza war.
The spokesman says that Tel Aviv will continue to be a primary target for the terror group “within the range of our weapons.”
The group claims that it launched a drone which can bypass radar detection systems. The IDF says its initial probe shows that the drone was detected by air defenses but was not shot down due to human error.
One person was killed and several wounded after the drone impacted an apartment in Tel Aviv.
