An IDF soldier was seriously wounded by a Hezbollah explosive drone impact near the northern community of Ayelet Hashahar earlier today.
The military says the soldier was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Hezbollah claimed to have attacked an army base with several explosive-laden drones. The IDF reported intercepting one of them.
Meanwhile, the IDF says that sirens that sounded in Ramot Naftali a short while ago were triggered by an interceptor missile launched at a target that was later determined to have been a “false identification.”
