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 a U.S. Embassy annex. The attack drew condemnation from U.N. chief Antonio Guterres and a call for “maximum restraint” to avoid “further escalation in the region.” The pre-dawn attack came hours before Israel suffered another blow, a ruling by the U.N.’s top court that its occupation of Palestinian territories was “illegal” and must end as soon as possible.
