The Yemeni Houthi rebels took credit for a suspected drone attack in central Tel Aviv near the US embassy branch office early on Friday, which reportedly killed one and injured at least 10.
A Houthi spokesperson described the attack — reportedly carried out by a new drone called "Jaffa" that the group claims is capable of evading interception systems — as a "victory for the oppressed Palestinian people and their fighters."
The rebels added that they had attacked "one of the important targets in the occupied Jaffa region, what is now called Israeli Tel Aviv," and vowed to carry out further attacks on Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The regional resistance will end its attacks when Israel ends its aggression against Gaza. From the very beginning, the resistance's primary goal has been to stop the war on Gaza, not start a larger regional conflict. This operation also functioned as a message to Israel's powerful Western allies that Sanaa will not sit idly by as the massacres continue.
