Israeli Military Probes Drone Attack in Central Tel Aviv, No Sirens Triggered

The Israeli military is investigating an apparent drone attack in central Tel Aviv that occurred early Friday without triggering air raid sirens. The incident followed the killing of a Hezbollah commander in southern Lebanon. Increased air patrols have been deployed, but no new civil defense measures have been implemented.

The Israeli military is currently investigating a suspected drone attack that struck central Tel Aviv in the early hours of Friday morning. Despite the explosion, air raid sirens were not activated, raising questions about the air defense system's response.

The incident came just hours after the military confirmed it had killed a senior Hezbollah commander in southern Lebanon. An initial inquiry suggests the explosion was caused by an aerial target falling into the area. 'The incident is under thorough review,' the military stated, emphasizing the need for increased air patrols to secure Israeli airspace. However, no new civil defense measures have been ordered.

Meanwhile, the military spokesman of Yemen's Houthi militants announced on social media platform X that they would soon reveal details about a military operation targeting Tel Aviv. The police also reported finding the body of a man in an apartment near the explosion site, an investigation is ongoing. Footage shows broken glass scattered across the city streets with police sealing off the area. Both Hezbollah and the Houthis have intensified attacks on Israel and Western interests, citing solidarity with Palestinians following Israel's incursion into the Gaza Strip after a Hamas attack on southern Israel.
