The head of HTS, Ahmed al-Sharaa, has vowed to pursue ‘war criminals’ even if they have fled the country
In a statement, Israel’s military has shared the findings of an investigation into why a drone believed to have been launched from Yemen was able to make it to Yavne on Israel’s Mediterranean coast, where it struck a building.
It said the drone “was initially identified as a suspicious aerial target” but it was “adjacent to additional aircrafts that were not classified as hostile.”
A helicopter and defence systems were prepared to intercept the aircraft. The aircraft was not intercepted due to the possibility that it was a civilian aircraft as well as due to the lack of continuous surveillance. Moreover, it was determined that the failure to activate sirens was an error that occurred due to the fact that the aircraft was not classified as hostile.
