The White House has been in contact with Israel following the Houthi drone strike on Tel Aviv early Friday morning, in which one person was killed, a White House spokesperson tells the Times of Israel.

“The United States was not involved in today’s strikes in Yemen,” the spokesperson adds, but stresses that “we fully recognize and acknowledge Israel’s right to self-defense.”
