Wednesday evening, multiple drones exploded inside Israeli territory near the Lebanon border, according to an N12 journalist report. The IDF confirmed the explosions and said there were no casualties; the incident is under investigation. The military initially reported a single suspicious aerial target had fallen, then within minutes revised the account to several targets and then to multiple drones exploding — all at 12:05 Jerusalem this afternoon. The current bulletin, published at 18:04 Jerusalem, adds the military's confirmation of the explosions and the absence of casualties.
This is the latest in a series of drone incidents along the northern border. As The Zioneer reported at 05:54 Jerusalem on 11 June, two launches from Lebanon fell near Israeli troops in southern Lebanon, triggering alerts in the north. At 09:05 Jerusalem on 7 June, four reserve soldiers were moderately wounded by an explosive drone in southern Lebanon. And at 00:24 Jerusalem on 13 June (this morning), a Hezbollah drone exploded inside Israeli territory near the border, with no casualties.
The military has not attributed Wednesday evening's incident to a specific group, and the exact location of the explosions has not been further specified beyond 'near the Lebanon border on the Israeli side.'
