The IDF confirms that a Hezbollah explosive-laden drone launched from Lebanon hit a sensitive military facility near the Golani Junction in the Lower Galilee last night.
Two drones were launched in the attack, with one being downed by air defenses.
The second explosive drone struck the site, and the damage is currently being evaluated by the military.
In response, the Israeli Air Force carried out strikes overnight in northeastern Lebanon’s Baalbek.
The strike targeted a Hezbollah weapons manufacturing plant, used to build guided munitions and drones, according to military assessments.
