At least five one-way attack drones reached occupied Yafa (Tel Aviv), in occupied Palestine, overnight on Thursday.
Israeli media outlets reported that five drones were launched from Yemen, some 2,000 kilometers away, as the first drone arrived in the area at around 2:00 am (local time).
At least three loud explosions were heard in Tel Aviv, Herzilya, and Petah Tikva, as reported by Israeli media outlets.
Later, another drone reached the Bat Yam city settlement in southern Tel Aviv.
It remains unclear whether Israeli occupation forces were able to intercept these drones, however, footage circulating from the first round of the attack showed a large explosion at a low altitude in the Gush Dan area.

Sirens sounded in Bat Yam at 2:53 am, where several warplanes and helicopters were deployed to search for the incoming swarm of drones.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Yemeni Armed Forces' (YAF) Rocket Force struck military sites deep into the Israeli occupation entity using three Quds-5 cruise missiles that successfully reached their targets, YAF spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced.
Saree pointed out that the Israeli occupation authorities remain tight-lipped about the outcomes of the latest operation, adding that it comes in support of the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples and in solidarity with their Resistance.
He extended the YAF's congratulations on Iran's Operation True Promise 2 against the Israeli occupation entity and affirmed their readiness to participate in any joint military operations in support of the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples, as well as in response to any Israeli aggression targeting support fronts.
The spokesperson warned that the continued American and British support for "Israel" places US and British interests in the region under fire.
He also underlined that the YAF will not hesitate to expand their military operations against "Israel" and those backing it until the aggression on Gaza ceases, the blockade imposed on the Strip is lifted, and the aggression on Lebanon is ended.
