An explosive-laden drone struck central Tel Aviv overnight, killing one Israeli man and injuring at least 10 others, including seven who were lightly wounded. The Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for the attack, identifying the drone used as the 'Yafa'. The explosion occurred near the United States Embassy Office, and no warning sirens had sounded prior to the attack. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are investigating why the drone was not detected by air defenses. The incident is under thorough review, and air force patrols have been increased in response.
