Hezbollah takes responsibility for this morning’s drone attack on a residential building in Nahariya, though it claims to have targeted an Israeli military base.

In a statement, the terror group says it targeted the IDF’s Shraga Camp, located some 3 kilometers south of Nahariya, with several explosive-laden drones. It says the attack was a response to recent IDF strikes in southern Lebanon.

According to the IDF, two drones were launched from Lebanon in the attack, one of which struck an apartment building in Nahariya, causing damage but no injuries.

Hezbollah also takes responsibility for a barrage of rockets at the Western Galilee, again claiming to have targeted a military base. The rockets struck open areas.

The terror group also claims to have launched a surface-to-air missile at an Israeli fighter jet over southern Lebanon, forcing it to retreat.
