Houthi stuff...
We now have a public map of the route that the Houthi suicide drone took to Tel Aviv.
This is not the exact same route that the IDF took on (for obvious reasons).
It did follow a route used by civilian airliners to hide itself for most of its trip. It only had to make 3 turns, which is indicative of preprogrammed inertial guidance. This also indicates that the entire city was the target, not some poor guy chilling on his apartment roof a block away from the US consulate.

Really?!?
So anyone can build a drone, load it with some AI controls, a GPS, some inertial guidance and a bomb and set it loose on whatever target they choose?
ATC doesn't get suspicious and trigger a military response?
Or, is there just no ATC in that part of the world?
Sudan is in a civil war. Radar either non-functional or very limited.
Eritrean radar looks southwards, towards Ethipoia (cuz wars).
IDF ground based radar looks in a U shape running roughly from the Lebanon border, through Syria and Jordan, to the Sinai.
Egyptian defense radar just isn't that good (obviously). Or the Egyptians ignored it.
Most civilian radars would have seen the drone as a small flock of birds.
