The victim of the Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv early this morning has been named as Yevgeny Ferder from Tel Aviv.
Hebrew media outlets initially reported that Ferder moved to Israel from Belarus two years ago with the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, but his niece denies this, saying he had lived in Israel for three decades and served in the reserves.
Ferder reportedly worked at a hotel in Tel Aviv that was hit by the drone.
