Israel: Drone attack damages building and causes power outage in Herzliya late Oct. 11
Power outage reported in Herzliya, Israel, following drone attack late Oct. 11. Further similar incidents likely.
At least two drones targeted central Israel late Oct. 11. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) intercepted one of the drones. The second one impacted Herzliya, causing a power outage and material damage to a building. There have been no immediate reports of casualties. The IDF has asked the public to adhere to the Homefront Command's security guidelines.
Further drone and projectile attacks are likely amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran-backed Shi'a militias in the region. Projectile fire and drone attacks could result in short-term disruptions and heightened security measures in impacted locations.
Avoid the vicinity of the affected location until authorities have completely secured the area and given the all-clear. Heed the instructions of local security personnel. If incoming fire is reported in the general vicinity, stay indoors, away from windows and exterior walls. If possible, move to the ground floor or basement. Maintain contact with your country's diplomatic mission.
