In a recent escalation of regional tensions, Israel's military successfully intercepted several projectiles launched from Lebanon on Monday. The incidents followed a drone strike by Hezbollah on an Israeli military base in the Binyamina area on Sunday evening, which resulted in the deaths of four soldiers.
AFP journalists reported hearing explosions over the military base that was targeted by the Hezbollah drone the night before the interceptions. The Israeli Air Force (IAF) responded swiftly to sirens sounding in the Sharon, Menashe, and Wadi Ara regions, identifying and neutralizing all incoming projectiles.
The military statement emphasized the effectiveness of Israel's defensive measures, ensuring the safety of its territories despite the ongoing threats. The events highlight the fragile security situation in the region and the persistent tensions between Israel and Hezbollah-backed entities in Lebanon.
