4 Israeli soldiers k!lled and more than 60 people injured by Hezbollah drone attacks on army base

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that a drone, or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), launched by Hezbollah struck a military base near Binyamina, a town located north of Tel Aviv, about 40 miles from Israel’s border with Lebanon.

Hezbollah also claimed that the target of the drone strike was the Golani Brigade, a highly regarded infantry unit within the IDF, which has been actively deployed in southern Lebanon. The group’s declaration of responsibility followed the release of an audio message from its former leader, Hassan Nasrallah, urging members to defend their people, nation, values, and dignity.

Earlier on Sunday, the IDF reported the interception of a UAV launched from Lebanon, although it was unclear whether it was linked to the later attack.

Hezbollah stated that the drone strike was part of a broader operation in which it fired dozens of rockets towards the northern Israeli towns of Nahariya and Acre to engage Israel’s air defense systems. Simultaneously, they launched a swarm of drones.

According to Hezbollah, these drones penetrated Israel’s radar defenses without detection and successfully hit the Golani Brigade’s training facility in Binyamina.

The incident, which took place late Sunday night, further heightens tensions in the ongoing conflict and demonstrates Hezbollah’s increasing use of advanced aerial tactics against Israeli targets. The attack occurred just hours after Hezbollah announced it had launched a swarm of attack drones targeting the same IDF infantry camp in Binyamina.
