Tel Aviv: Israel threatened retaliation on Friday after a drone claimed by Yemen's Houthi rebels penetrated its vaunted air defenses and killed a civilian in a Tel Aviv apartment building near the US embassy annex. The attack drew condemnation from UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and an appeal for “maximum restraint” to avoid “further escalation in the region”. The pre-down strike came just hours before Israel suffered another blow, with the UN Supreme Court ruling that its occupation of the Palestinian territories was “illegal” and needed to end as soon as possible.
