The IDF says a drone launched from Lebanon earlier this evening caused slight damage and sparked a fire near the coastal town of Atlit, south of Haifa.
The Hezbollah terror group claimed to have launched several explosive-laden drones at the Israeli Navy’s Atlit base, which houses the Shayetet 13 commando unit.
According to the IDF, three drones were launched in the attack, two of which were intercepted by air defenses.
“A fire broke out as a result of an impact in the area, minor damage was caused and the fire was extinguished,” the IDF says in a statement, adding that no injuries were caused.
