Israel: Reports of Large Explosion, Possibly From Drone, Near U.S. Embassy Branch In Tel Aviv

Videos and pictures have emerged of an explosion near the U.S. Consulate in Tel Aviv, Israel.

A preliminary investigation from the IDF:

A preliminary investigation shows that the explosion in Tel Aviv was caused by the fall of an aerial target, which did not trigger a warning. The matter is under in-depth investigation. Many forces are now operating in place. The Air Force will increase the patrols of the planes operating to protect the country’s skies. There is no change in the directives of the Home Front Command.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supposedly canceled his trip to America. [Update: This claim does not appear to be true.]

Ambulance service said 8 hospitalized in Tel Aviv. One died from the drone’s shrapnel.

Translation: “Crazy! Documentation of the UAV explosion in the city of Tel Aviv, you can hear a hum and then a huge explosion.”
