TEL AVIV—A drone strike caused an explosion in Tel Aviv, slipping through the country’s vaunted air defenses in the first such attack on Israel’s commercial capital since the war in Gaza began more than nine months ago.
The Israeli military said the blast was caused by a large uncrewed aerial vehicle that could travel long distances. It said it believes the device was launched by the Iran-aligned Houthi militant group from Yemen, roughly 1,250 miles away.
