Hezbollah says it fired ‘swarm’ of drones at Israel, but reprisal for commander yet to come
Lebanon’s Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah says it launched a swarm of attack drones, claiming the attack that has injured two in an Arab town in northern Israel, including one critically.
The Shiite movement claims its attack was against military targets.
A source within the group tells Reuters that this is not the group’s retaliation for Israel’s killing of Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut last week. Hezbollah has vowed to avenge him, prompting worries of a major escalation that could tip into a full-blown war.
