Iran-backed group carries out first attack on Israeli business hub
One person was killed and several others injured in a drone attack on central Tel Aviv in the early hours of Friday that was claimed by Houthi militants. An Israeli military official said the attack, which took place at about 3am local time and did not trigger air raid sirens, involved a large, long-range drone that was not intercepted by Israel’s air defence systems as a result of “human error”.
They have also launched multiple attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, severely disrupting the flow of goods through one of the world’s key maritime trade routes. Israel also intercepted a second drone on its eastern border, the official added, but said it was not clear whether the two had been launched by the same group.
