        A drone attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels killed one person in the center of Tel Aviv, Israel's biggest city, and wounded at least 10 others near the U.S. Embassy early Friday, authorities said.
        
        The Houthis have launched drones and missiles toward Israel throughout the Israel-Hamas war, but all had apparently been intercepted until Friday. Alongside their attacks on shipping, the Iran-backed Houthis say they're pressuring Israel and the international community to halt the devastating war in Gaza.
        
        Meanwhile, the top U.N. court issued a non-binding opinion that Israel’s presence in the occupied Palestinian territories is "unlawful," saying Israel could not claim sovereignty in the territories and was impeding Palestinians' right to self-determination. Israel captured the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip in the 1967 Mideast war. The Palestinians seek all three areas for an independent state.
