It was not immediately clear how the strike evaded Israel’s air defenses or how Israel might respond.

injuring at least 10 people and leaving one dead

Yemen’s Houthis have repeatedly launched drones and missiles toward Israel throughout the nine-month-long war, in sympathy with Hamas. But until Friday, all were intercepted by either Israel or Western allies with forces stationed in the region.

AP for what ever reason have decided that noone has claimed responsibility, yet include several paragraphs about the Houthis.

From Reuter’s coverage:

The military spokesman of Yemen’s Houthi militants, which like Hezbollah are backed by Iran, said on the X social media website that the group would reveal details about a military operation that targeted Tel Aviv.

    Seems like AP is getting some basic facts mixed up here?

    Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles at Israel during a single incident in April in response to Israel’s alleged assassination of a pair of Iranian generals in Syria at the time.

    Here’s the contemporary source https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/13/middleeast/iran-drones-attack-israel-intl-latam/index.html

    Iran launched an unprecedented large-scale drone and missile attack at Israel on Saturday night, in retaliation for a suspected Israeli strike on an Iranian diplomatic complex in Syria

    tbh, pretty disappointing from AP.
