ARC Mini Blog for Day 287 Swords of Iron – Tel Aviv bombed by suicide drone

Chaim starts the video by declaring that “this war continues to escalate” and he elaborates on thei point by describing the attack on Tel Aviv which happened on Friday morning, when a suicide drone fired by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen struck a residential building in Tel Aviv. One Israeli man was killed in the attack and several other civilians were wounded. The building the drone struck was near the US consulate in Tel Aviv, and also near several hotels popular with visitors.

This is a major escalation as Tel Aviv is the financial capital of Israel and geographically the center of the country. For a blow to land this means that the war has been kicked up several notches in intensity.

Chaim mentions that there were apparently other weapons en route from Yemen to Israel but they were intercepted by the US Navy. Chaim also admits that this was a serious operational failure on the part of the IDF, as there was no warning of the attack and apparently the radar didn’t pick it up or the radar operators missed it somehow.

Chaim concludes by saying that the IDF is preparing a “massive retaliation” so he invites his viewers to “stay tuned, and keep praying.”
