The Hezbollah terror group fired at least 30 drones at Israel in a single coordinated strike, a security source tells Reuters, marking the group’s largest yet drone attack on Israel.
According to the Iran-backed group, the attack drones were fired at the headquarters of Israel’s northern command, an intelligence headquarters and a military barracks.
According to Hezbollah-affiliated news outlet al-Manar, the group also fired 100 rockets in a single instance, which also marked its largest such attack since it began firing at Israel on October 8.
Hezbollah said in an earlier statement that it had targeted military sites in the attacks, which triggered sirens throughout northern Israel at around 2 p.m.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, some 40 rockets and seven drones crossed the border from Lebanon in the attack, which sparked fires in the Golan Heights and northern Israel.
Two people were injured as a result of falling shrapnel, medical officials said.
