        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 United States Embassy early Friday, authorities said.
        
        Meanwhile, the top United Nations 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.
        
        Friday's decision by the International Court of Justice is separate from South Africa's case saying Israel's war in Gaza amounts to genocide, a charge Israel vehemently denies.
        
        The war was sparked by Hamas' Oct. 7 attack, when Palestinian militants stormed into southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people - mostly civilians - and abducting about 250. Since then, Israeli ground offensives and bombardments have killed more than 38,800 people in Gaza, according to the territory's Health Ministry. It does not distinguish between combatants and civilians in its count.
