Drone strike near U.S. Embassy office in Tel Aviv

One person was killed and eight others injured in an explosion after a drone attack claimed by the Iran-backed Houthi group on Tel Aviv early Friday, yards from the U.S. Embassy branch office, raising the prospect of all-out regional war.
The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that an initial probe indicated the explosion was caused by a falling “aerial target,” a term used typically to refer to drones. The IDF said it increased air patrols “to protect Israeli airspace.” No siren was activated, and the IDF said the incident was under review.
The military spokesman of the Houthis, a Yemen-based group that has been lobbing drones at the southern Israeli city of Eilat for months, said on social media early Friday that the group will reveal details about the “quality operation” that targeted Tel Aviv.
