Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said on Friday morning that the drone was Iranian-made and that it was probably fired from Yemen. The Houthis’ military spokesman said on Friday morning that they have attacked the Israeli city with a drone, and that the militia will continue to attack Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians affected by the Gaza war. The anti-aircraft sirens were not triggered ahead of the explosion, which hit a building in the center of Tel Aviv. Human failure was the reason why the drone was not caught by the air defense systems, the Israeli Air Force stated in a statement reproduced by the newspaper Haaretz on Friday morning. The Israeli military IDF says it has increased patrols in the air after the incident. The IDF’s initial investigations suggest that the explosion was caused by a “target from the air”. Shrapnel rained down on Tel Aviv, and the city’s mayor, Ron Huldai, quickly referred to it as a drone strike in a message on social media.
