The Israeli army reported that the attack used a very large flying robot that was spotted in time, but due to a mistake the alarm was not triggered.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for the attack.
The attack led to an explosion in a building near the US embassy. The dead man’s body was found in an apartment near the explosion site as rescuers searched the area.
The Israeli military said a Houthi attack was one of the possibilities being investigated.
The military revealed that the attack used a very large drone capable of measuring long distances and said the attack was aimed at killing civilians in Israel.
The drone was spotted, but due to human error, the alarm was not immediately triggered, the military revealed.
Another drone was spotted on Israel’s eastern border and intercepted.
Since the start of the war between Israel and the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, Yemen’s Shia rebels, the Houthis, have repeatedly attacked Israel with attack drones and missiles. But until now, Israel or its Western allies had managed to intercept all Houthi missiles and drones.
Israel has so far not attacked the Houthis, focusing on the war in the Gaza Strip and the fight against the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
