Yemen’s Houthis claim responsibility for fatal drone attack on Tel Aviv

Yemen’s Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for a fatal drone attack on Tel Aviv, Israel, which left one man dead and at least 10 others injured. The strike, which targeted an apartment building in the city center, has raised questions about Israel’s defense systems and how they failed to prevent the attack.

The drone used in the strike was reportedly of Iranian origin, raising concerns about Iran’s influence in the region. The Houthi rebels justified the attack as retaliation for Israel’s ongoing conflict in Gaza, further escalating tensions in the Middle East.

The Houthi rebels, an Iranian-backed group controlling several provinces in Yemen, are known for their alignment with Hamas and Hezbollah. This deadly strike on Israeli territory marks the first of its kind by the Houthi group.

The incident has sparked renewed concerns about the ongoing conflict in the region and the potential for further violence. Israeli authorities are said to be investigating the attack, while the international community closely watches the situation unfold.
