Tel Aviv Drohnenangriff von Jemen Huthis

July 19, 2024 - Eine Langstreckendrohne schlug Freitag in der Mitte von Tel Aviv ein,
Iran-gestützte Huthis zeichnen für den Angriff verantwortlich, bei dem eine Person getötet und mehrere verletzt wurden.

The explosion, which did not trigger air raid alarms, occurred hours after the Israeli military confirmed it had killed a senior commander of the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia in southern Lebanon.

The Israeli official said the military was still investigating why the drone did not trigger the alarm, but initial reports suggested the drone was identified but the sirens were not sounded due to human error.

A spokesman for Yemen's Houthi militants said the strike was carried out using a new drone called "Yafa", which was capable of bypassing interception systems and undetectable by radars, according to Reuters.
