Sirens sound in towns close to Lebanon border, warning of suspected drone attack
Sirens sound in multiple communities close to the Lebanon border, warning of a suspected drone infiltration.
Most of the communities have been largely evacuated of civilians since Hezbollah-led forces began launching daily attacks on Israeli communities and military posts along the border on October 8.
The Iran-backed terror group says it is doing so to support Gaza amid Israel’s war with Hamas, triggered by the terror group’s October 7 massacre in southern Israel.
Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi warned last week that Hezbollah would “pay a very high price” for its continued attacks on northern Israel.
