Hezbollah drone attack kills four Israeli soldiers, injures many
JERUSALEM (AA) – A drone belonging to Hezbollah struck “a military base near Binyamina,” killing four soldiers on Sunday, said Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari.
He further stated that all those injured were transferred to hospitals, with their families notified.
Their names will be released later, he added.
The Israeli Army Radio reported that at least 67 Israelis were injured in the drone attack on the city of Haifa.
In a statement, Hezbollah confirmed that it launched a swarm of attack drones on a training camp for the Golani Brigade in Binyamina, south of Haifa.
The Israeli Army Radio said that the army had opened an investigation into the failure to activate the sirens when the drone entered northern Israel.
Official Hebrew broadcasting agency IBA reported that the commander of the air force, Gen. Tomer Bar, is overseeing the military investigation.
According to the daily Israel Hayom, residents of Haifa and surrounding areas, including the Kiryat settlements, heard explosions without the activation of sirens.
This comes as Israel has mounted massive airstrikes across Lebanon against what it claims are Hezbollah targets since Sept. 23, killing at least 1,437 people, injuring over 4,123 others, and displacing more than 1.34 million people.
The aerial campaign is an escalation from a year of cross-border warfare between Israel and Hezbollah since the start of its offensive on the Gaza Strip, in which Israel has killed more than 42,200 people, most of them women and children.
