The most notable raid in the past 24 hours was a drone attack by Houthi forces from Yemen on the city of Tel Aviv in central Israel, killing at least one person and injuring several others.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) described this as the most serious raid by the Iranian-backed Yemeni armed group since the outbreak of conflict in the Gaza Strip in early October 2023.
Additionally, Hezbollah forces in Lebanon launched approximately 65 rockets into various residential areas in northern Israel. In a statement, Hezbollah confirmed that these missile attacks were in response to a series of Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon the previous day, which had killed a senior Hezbollah commander.
