A suspected Hezbollah drone struck an Israeli military zone near the Lebanon border in the Upper Galilee, the IDF says. No injuries were reported, and the incident is under investigation.
The IDF confirmed that a suspected Hezbollah drone struck an Israeli military zone in the Upper Galilee near the Lebanon border at around 12:00 Jerusalem time on Thursday. No injuries were reported and the incident is under investigation.
Sirens had sounded in several communities in the Upper Galilee prior to the impact, according to i24NEWS and the IDF. The drone fell in a military area, not in a civilian community, a military source said.
This marks the third drone-related incident in the north in a day, following a morning event in the Western Galilee in which two drones that the IDF said were launched by Hezbollah exploded in Israeli territory near the border. No casualties were reported then either. As The Zioneer reported, that morning incident saw sirens as children headed to school, and footage later emerged that appeared to show one impact meters from homes in Shlomi, contradicting the IDF's initial characterization.
