The Israeli army reported a drone attack on a building near the US consulate in central Tel Aviv that occurred in the early hours of Friday. This explosion happened hours after the Israeli army announced that it had killed a senior commander of Hezbollah, a group supported by the Islamic Republic, in southern Lebanon. The Israeli army stated in a statement, 'Preliminary investigations indicate that the explosion in Tel Aviv was caused by an aerial projectile, and no alarms were sounded. This incident is under thorough investigation.' The Israeli army also announced that aerial patrols to protect Israeli airspace have been increased, but no new measures for urban defense have been adopted. Meanwhile, a military spokesperson for the Houthi militants in Yemen, who are also supported by the Islamic Republic like Hezbollah, announced on social media platform X that the group would publish details of military operations against Tel Aviv. Police reported that the body of a man was found in an apartment near the explosion site, and the circumstances of the incident are under investigation. Four people were taken to the hospital due to injuries from the explosion, and four others were hospitalized following shock from the attack. Images from the scene show broken glass scattered on the city sidewalks, and people gathered near the damaged buildings. The area has been cordoned off by police tape. Hezbollah and the Houthis have increased their attacks against Israel and Western targets, stating that these actions are in solidarity with the Palestinians following Israel's assault on the Gaza Strip after Hamas's attack on southern Israel. Senator Lankford: The American people see during whose term the Islamic Republic attacked Israel. Exclusive; Mike Pompeo to Voice of America: The Islamic Republic is trying to destroy the United States.
