The IDF says a Hezbollah explosive drone struck the northern border community of Shomera a short while ago amid a wave of drone launches at northern Israel.
“The moshav is in chaos. Children are locked in the kindergarten, drones are in the air, and live fire [can be heard],” a Shomera resident tells the Kan public broadcaster.
According to the military, additional drones also fell inside Israeli territory, with some landing in a military zone near the Lebanese border.
The IDF says it also identified several “suspicious aerial targets” during multiple drone infiltration alerts across the north, but later lost contact with them, suggesting that they either left the monitored airspace or crashed.
No injuries were reported in any of the incidents, which the military says are under investigation.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
