A powerful explosion rocked Tel Aviv on July 19, resulting in the death of a man who was reportedly hit by a drone shrapnel. Security personnel and emergency services gathered in central Tel Aviv in the early hours of July 19 following an explosion near a US embassy office in the city. According to an initial probe, the explosive-laden UAV had been identified but not engaged by air defences due to a human error. Meanwhile, the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen claimed responsibility for the attack, saying the attack was carried out with a new drone named “Jaffa”.
