In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:

The Houthis of Yemen have launched their most provocative strike yet, hitting the Israeli city of Tel Aviv with an advanced drone that was able to dodge multiple layers of air defenses, suggesting the militants are upgrading their munitions with an assist from their backers in Iran.
