The Yemeni Ansar Allah forces (Houthi) struck Tel Aviv on Thursday, killing at least on Israeli. Their attack was done in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza, a spokesperson said.
Israel blamed the attack on human error and claimed its defenses were not breached.Video on social media shows a gliding-type drone flying over the shoreline near Tel Aviv before arriving in the city and causing a large explosion. The Houthis said the new drone is undetectable by Israeli air defenses and named it the Jafa, after the Palestinian name for Tel Aviv before it was occupied by Israel. Its projected path indicates it bypassed far more than just Israeli defenses, traveling nearly 1000 miles (~1600 km) according to some estimates.“The Yemeni drone did not just bypass Israeli air defenses, it also bypassed the US Navy, the UK Royal Navy. It bypassed Saudi air defenses… it bypassed Jordan, it bypassed everything and it managed to hit in the capital of the Israeli occupation state,” journalist and editor of The Cradle Esteban Carrillo told Sputnik. “[Israel is] calling it human error.
