On October 14, the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah launched a significant drone attack against a military base near Binyamina in northern Israel, resulting in the deaths of four Israeli soldiers and injuries to over 60 others. This attack has been identified as one of the deadliest drone strikes by Hezbollah against Israel since the escalation of their conflict.
According to reports from The Guardian, prior coverage by Israel’s N12 television indicated that Binyamina is located in the Haifa region and that at least 67 soldiers from the Golani Brigade sustained injuries during the assault.
Major Avichay Adraee, a spokesperson for the Israeli Defense Forces, confirmed that the Hezbollah attack caused casualties, with seven individuals reported to be seriously injured.
CNN noted that Hezbollah stated this operation was in retaliation for an Israeli airstrike that occurred on October 10, which resulted in the deaths of 22 people and left 117 others injured in Lebanon.
The New York Times reported that as of 3 PM local time on October 13, Israeli military sources confirmed that Hezbollah had fired approximately 115 rockets or missiles during this assault. This incident not only highlights Hezbollah’s resilience but also raises concerns about potential vulnerabilities within Israel’s air defense systems.
