The IDF says 14 soldiers were wounded in the Hezbollah drone and missile attack on Arab al-Aramshe earlier today.
Six troops were seriously wounded, two are listed in moderate condition and another six are lightly hurt, the military says.
In all, 18 people were taken to Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya for treatment.
The injuries were the result of a drone smashing into a community center in Arab al-Aramshe. Though the town has been largely evacuated, soldiers are stationed there and may have used the building as a gathering space.
