An Israeli military spokesman described the strike as a 'terror attack' that was 'targeted to kill civilians', adding that the drone evaded air defence systems due to 'human error'.
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for a drone strike near the US embassy in central Tel Aviv, leaving one person dead and at least four injured. A district police commander has said the explosion took place in the air at around 3:10am local time on Friday morning and reverberated to nearby cities.
The military added that it was increasing air patrols but had not ordered new civil defence measures. A district police commander in Tel Aviv said: 'The explosion was in the air, and the destruction was caused by the impact. We do not have a targeted crash site. It is not clear to us at the moment what the device was that exploded.
