TEL AVIV, Israel—Yemen’s Houthi rebels on Friday claimed responsibility for an early morning drone strike that hit a part of central Tel Aviv near the United States Embassy, leaving at least 10 injured and one dead.
The Houthis claimed that their newest drones can bypass Israel’s aerial defense systems. However, a spokesperson for Israel’s military said on Friday that the explosive-laden drone had been identified on Thursday and attributed the hit to “human error.” The military’s assessment of aerial threats has not changed because, the military said, Israel’s adversaries have attempted such strikes for months.
It comes as international mediators continue to hold out hope for a cease-fire agreement, pushing Israel and Hamas toward a phased deal that would halt fighting and free about 120 hostages held by the militant group in Gaza. “The force of the explosion caused damage that is not great but is spread over a large area. At the moment we don’t know what the object was,” Amar said.
