Israeli military confirms ‘damage’ after Hezbollah drone attacks

The Israeli military confirms in a statement that almost all of the explosive-laden drones launched earlier by Hezbollah punched through its defence systems but inflicted no casualties.

One of the unspecified number of drones was intercepted, while others impacted areas in northern Israel causing damage, it said without elaborating.

The Israeli military also released aerial footage to report a series of air raids across southern Lebanon today, purportedly to hit Hezbollah structures and operatives.

Aita al-Shaab, Khiam and Bilda along the border were some of the areas targeted by the Israeli military.

Hezbollah says second drone swarm targeted Israeli soldiers

The armed Lebanese group says it launched two “squadrons of attack drones” on northern Israel earlier today, with the second targeting a gathering of Israeli soldiers “in the vicinity of the Birkat Risha site” and achieving a hit.

The first batch of the drones had targeted the Michve Alon military base.

Hezbollah has claimed a total of 10 attacks today, with earlier strikes also using a barrage of rockets and a guided missile.


Several US, coalition personnel injured in Syria drone attack: Report

Several American and coalition personnel suffered minor injuries, including smoke inhalation, during a drone attack in northeastern Syria on Friday, a US official told the Reuters news agency.

Still, some personnel are being examined for traumatic brain injuries, the official said.

We previously reported that a drone attacked US troops at the Rumalyn Landing Zone in Syria. No group has claimed responsibility but Iran-backed armed groups have carried out similar attacks in Syria and Iraq in recent months. This includes Monday’s rocket attack on the Ain al-Assad airbase in western Iraq that wounded at least seven US personnel.
