According to an initial investigation carried out by the Israeli Air Force, the unmanned aerial vehicle had been identified, but due to a human error, it was not engaged by air defenses.
As no action was taken against the identified target — later confirmed to be a large long-range attack drone — no warning sirens had sounded.
The drone directly impacted an apartment building in Tel Aviv at 3:12 a.m. After reaching Israel from Yemen, the drone made its way to Tel Aviv from the direction of the sea, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a press conference.
The drone, identified by the IDF as an Iranian-made Samad-3 which had been modified to have an extended range, had flown to the country for several hours at a low altitude, according to the probe.
A man in his 50s was killed by shrapnel from the explosion, Magen David Adom said. According to the ambulance service, the man was found lifeless in a building.
The victim was later named as Yevgeny Ferder. According to Hebrew media reports, he moved to Israel from Belarus two years ago with the start of the Russia-Ukraine war. -
