Eighteen Israeli soldiers were wounded, including one seriously, in a Hezbollah explosive-laden drone attack in the northern Golan Heights earlier today, the military announces.

Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it targeted an Israeli military site in response to IDF strikes against the terror group earlier in the day.

The soldiers were taken to a hospital for treatment. One was seriously hurt and the other 17 were listed in good condition.

The IDF also says it struck a series of Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon in the last few hours, including operation posts in Markaba, and a rocket launcher in Ayta ash-Shab, which had been used in an attack earlier today.
