Overnight Hezbollah has attacked northern Israel and killed four Israeli Defence Forces and injured more than 60 soldiers in a drone strike on a military base.
Hezbollah said they targeted the IDF’s Golani Brigade training base in a “swarm of drones” and the deadly attack is proof the Iranian backed militant group has the ability to strike Israel.
In a statement shortly after midnight, IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said, “The IDF has full operational control over the incident.
“We will investigate how a UAV can breach without warning and hit a base.”
Hagari added Israel has been under threat by drones “since the beginning of the war.”

“We are required to provide better protection,” he said. “We will investigate this incident, learn from it and improve,” The Times of Israel reports.
Hezbollah said, “These drones broke through the Israel defense radars without detection and reached its target at the training camp of the elite Golani Brigade in Binyamina.”
