Yemen’s Houthi rebels, who claimed a deadly strike far from their borders inside Israel, have built up a significant drone arsenal. The July 19 drone attack on Tel Aviv killed one person and wounded several others. An Israeli military official said a “very big” drone had been detected but the alarm was not immediately raised because of “human error.”
In that attack, a large, explosive-laden drone named “Jaffa” slammed into a building 100 metres from the US Consulate in downtown Tel Aviv. The attack marked a “new phase” in their operations against Israel, said the Houthis, who have been steadily developing their drone capabilities since 2014.
The Houthis said the attack was carried out by the Jaffa, a mysterious new ultra-long-range airplane-style drone with radar-evading capabilities. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the drone could bypass air defence systems and radar detection.
