Iran-backed Houthi Militia Launches Drone Attack on Tel Aviv, Resulting in One Fatality

In a significant incident, the Iran-backed Houthi militia claimed responsibility for a drone attack on Tel Aviv, resulting in one fatality and multiple injuries. The attack targeted a location near a US embassy building.

The drone, believed to be of Iranian origin, was launched from Yemen. The Houthi rebels have been increasingly targeting international ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

These attacks are in retaliation to Israeli military actions and in support of the Palestinian organization Hamas. The Hamas attack on Israel in October resulted in numerous casualties, and Israel has responded with a massive military operation in the Gaza Strip, causing significant loss of life.

The Houthis have vowed to continue their attacks, posing a threat to both Israeli security and regional stability. The incident in Tel Aviv highlights the potential danger posed by Hezbollah drones and rockets, as well as sporadic rocket fire from Gaza.

The explosion occurred in close proximity to the US embassy annexe, raising concerns about the safety of diplomatic personnel.
