Tel Aviv (National Times) A drone claimed by Yemen’s Houthi rebels slipped through Israel’s vaunted air defence system on Friday to hit a Tel Aviv building near a US embassy annex, killing one person.
The Houthis fired at Tel Aviv a “new drone called ‘Yafa’, which is capable of bypassing the enemy’s interception systems,” the Iran-backed Yemeni movement’s spokesman, Yahya Saree, said on social media.
An Israeli military official said a “very big” drone was used in the attack on Israel’s commercial capital, explaining that “human error” led to the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) not being intercepted.
