Militants in Lebanon launched six unmanned aerial vehicles at northern Israel on Tuesday, causing fire and damage.
The Israeli military in a statement said only one of the drones was intercepted by the country’s Aerial Defense Array.
“One of the drones exploded near the community of Yiftah, close to the Israel-Lebanon border, sparking a fire,” it said.
The Israeli military further stated that several other drones caused light damage, with no causalities reported.
Israel’s state-owned Kan TV news reported that the drones were launched by Hezbollah, a Lebanese armed group and party, which had been fighting against Israel along the border since October 7, 2023.
Lebanese military sources said that Israel’s F-15 warplanes intercepted, at very low altitudes, several drones that were heading from Lebanon to northern Israel.
Hezbollah said on Tuesday that its military wing, the Islamic Resistance, targeted Israeli officers and soldiers in the Yiftah barracks with drones while reporting casualties.
The drones targeted an Iron Dome platform in the Ramot Naftali Barracks, damaging it, he said.
The drones came after Israeli troops fired at Aalma El Chaab in southern Lebanon.
On Monday, Israeli warplanes stroked a Hezbollah military structure and infrastructure in the area of Mazraat Aaqmata in southern Lebanon.
According to the National News Agency, NNA, earlier Tuesday, Lebanese Labor Minister, Moustafa Bayram, said that Israeli attacks caused damage to around 3,000 business facilities in southern Lebanon.
Bayram said he would contact the Arab Labor Organization and Arab member states as soon as the war ends to request a grant for people affected by Israeli attacks.
