On Friday, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned a drone strike on Tel Aviv, which Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for. The attack left one person dead.
The UN Secretary General expressed serious concern about the possible further escalation of the conflict.
“The Secretary-General remains deeply concerned about the risk of further escalation in the region that such dangerous acts pose,” said Farhan Haq, Guterres’ spokesman, calling for “the utmost restraint.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not yet made a public comment on the Houthi attack.
As is known, IDF spokesman Brigadier General Daniel Hagari stated in an interview with foreign media that Iran actively supports terrorist organizations that threaten the security of Israel and the international community. This statement was made after the explosion of an Iranian drone in the center of Tel Aviv, which resulted in the death of one civilian and the injury of eight people.
Earlier, Cursor reported that the IDF is continuing to investigate the incident that occurred early Friday morning, when an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) launched by the Houthis from Yemen crossed into Israeli territory and crashed in Tel Aviv, killing Yevgeny Pardur and injuring about ten people.
The Israeli Air Force is currently trying to figure out why the drone, which was detected by radar minutes before the strike, was not identified as hostile and was not intercepted.
In addition, “Kursor” has already reported that the Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevhen Korniychuk responded to the night attack of the Houthi drone on Tel Aviv. The diplomat expressed deep condolences to the family of the deceased and wished a speedy recovery to the wounded.
