Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree announced that the group targetted Tel Aviv with five drones at dawn, Thursday. He confirmed the success of the operation, however the Israeli army admited only two drones falling on the city.

As broadcast on Al Masirah Saree said that the Yemeni air force attacked a vital target in occupied Jaffa with a number of drones, stressing the operation achieved its goals by the arrival of the drones without the enemy detecting or shooting them down.

The military spokesman added the Jaffa operation comes within the fifth phase of the “Promised Conquest and Holy Jihad” battle, and stressed the continuation of operations until the aggression on Gaza and Lebanon stops.

The Israeli army said it had detected two drones in Bat Yam, south of Tel Aviv, adding it intercepted one and the second fell in an open area.

A recent poll by the Israeli institute for national security studies has highlighted a troubling trend in Israeli public opinion regarding military accountability. The survey shows that a majority of Israelis support only disciplinary action for soldiers, who were filmed gang-raping and severely abusing a Palestinian detainee, rather than criminal prosecution according to the Quds News Network.

65% of Israelis surveyed believe that the soldiers should be addressed through internal military discipline only, rather than facing criminal charges. In contrast, only 21% advocate for criminal prosecution.

Last week, the Israeli military attorney’s office and defense lawyers agreed on the release to house arrest of the five soldiers, who were filmed while raping a Palestinian man in the notorious Sde Teiman detention camp.

Turns out these "right-to-rape" rally-goers aren't in the minority, they're among the super-majority 65% of Israeli Jews who support soldiers that gang-rape Palestinians abducted from Gaza.

The poll also sheds light on broader sentiments towards Israel’s adherence to international law and moral standards in warfare. When asked whether Israel should comply with international legal norms and ethical standards during conflict, 47% of respondents said the occupation state should not.

The survey findings show significant alignment between public, official, and military positions in the occupation state regarding Israel’s policy of impunity on the international stage. Additionally, the poll queried how Israelis would advise their children regarding military service. A substantial 30% indicated they would encourage their children to enlist in combat roles.
