Several suspected Hezbollah drones struck near Israeli forces operating in southern Lebanon a short while ago, the IDF says.

No injuries were caused in the attack, according to the army.

The “suspicious aerial targets” and attempts to shoot them down triggered sirens in several border communities in the Western Galilee.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been visiting the community of Shlomi half an hour before sirens sounded there.

Additionally, the IDF says a siren in the border community of Metula a short while ago was a false alarm.
