A large explosion tore through the streets of central Tel Aviv early on Friday morning, raining down shards of shrapnel and injuring at least 10 people.

Israel's emergency response service said those injured were being treated for their injuries, while a 50-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Israel's military said they were reviewing the explosion and increasing air patrols after the incident, which its initial inquiries determined was caused by "an aerial target".

It was not immediately clear how the strike evaded Israel's air defences or how Israel might respond.

Yemen's Houthis have repeatedly launched drones and missiles toward Israel throughout the nine-month-long war in sympathy with Hamas.

Until Friday, all were intercepted by either Israel or Western allies with forces stationed in the region.
