Two soldiers were wounded in an apparent drone attack on a military position near the northern community of Misgav Am earlier today, the IDF announces.
One of the soldiers is listed in serious condition, while the other is lightly hurt.
The pair were taken to a hospital for treatment.
Hezbollah takes responsibility for the attack, saying it launched two explosive drones at a military position in the area.
The IDF believes the projectile that wounded the soldiers was an explosive-laden drone, although it is still investigating.
