Hezbollah says it launched two drone attacks

The group said a suicide drone hit “accurately” a gathering of Israeli forces in the army’s Zar’it barrack in northern Israel.

In a separate statement, it said it targeted the Israeli Tsnobar logistics base in Israeli-occupied Golan Heights with a missile.

As we’ve been reporting, a drone attack has hit northern Israel, south of Haifa, where at least 40 people are now reported to have been injured.


Hezbollah confirms it carried out Binyamina attack

In a statement, the group said it launched a “swarm of drones” on a Golani Brigade camp in Binyamina, south of Haifa that we have been reporting on.

It said that the attack was carried out “in support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their valiant and honorable resistance, and in defence of Lebanon and its people”.


Casualty figure rises in Binyamina attack

Israeli media is now reporting that at least 67 people are now reported injured in the drone attack.



Binyamina is located between Tel Aviv and Haifa and has a population of around 16,000 people.
It is approximately 70km south of the border with Lebanon.

The Golani Brigade is one of the five infantry brigades of the regular Israeli army. It is highly trained and its soldiers go into combat areas. They are regarded as one of the elite units of the Israeli army. They were moved further up to engage on Israel’s northern front in the war on Lebanon. This training military base, south of Haifa, is one that was singled out by Hezbollah.


Israeli army says another drone intercepted

The Israeli army says it intercepted a drone fired from Lebanon off Israel’s northern coast. This interception comes shortly after the drone strike we have been reporting on that caused dozens of casualties.


Sirens sounding across northern Israel

We are getting reports that warning sirens are sounding in several towns in northern Israel. The Israeli Home Front Command said that sirens are sounding in Kiryat Shmona, Margaliot, Metula, Misgav Am and the Manara area.

This comes after sirens did not go off ahead of the Hezbollah drone attack on Binyamina.
