A drone strike by Hezbollah on northern Israel resulted in the deaths of four individuals and wounded over 60 others on Sunday. The attack targeted a training base of the Golani Brigade in Binyamina, southern Haifa, marking a rare instance where a drone bypassed Israel's air defense system, causing significant casualties.
The Israeli military has intensified its bombardment of Lebanon, engaging in fierce battles with militants along the border. In response to the drone attack, Hezbollah issued a stern warning, threatening further assaults if Israel continues its offensive in Lebanon. The group emphasized that the recent attack is just a precursor to more severe actions should Israel persist in its aggression.
Amid the escalating conflict, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) reported that they found themselves once again in the crossfire. Israeli troops forcibly entered a UN position equipped with two tanks after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for the withdrawal of UNIFIL forces from the area. This incident is part of a series of confrontations since Thursday, resulting in injuries to five Blue Helmets.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed deep concern over the attacks on peacekeepers, stating that such actions could constitute war crimes. The international community continues to watch closely as tensions between Israel and Hezbollah rise, with potential implications for regional stability.
