The Air Forces admitted that the drone that hit Tel Aviv was mistakenly not identified as a hostile target, and therefore not identified by the aerial defense system.

The Air Force admits that the drone that hit Tel Aviv early this morning (Friday) was mistakenly not identified as a hostile target, and therefore not identified by the aerial defense system.

At this stage, it is unclear where the drone came from - whether the south or east or elsewhere. It has been identified as a long-range drone, however.

Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi convened an initial situational assessment and ordered a thorough examination of the attack to understand the type of drone, its technology, and so on.

One man died and eight were injured from the explosion.
