Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah movement said it launched drone attacks on two north Israel bases in retaliation for the killing of a fighter Israel described as “significant”
Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah movement said it launched drone attacks on two north Israel bases on April 23 in retaliation for the killing of a fighter Israel described as "significant".
Since Hamas’ unprecedented October 7 attack on Israel triggered war in Gaza, there have been near-daily cross-border exchanges of fire between Hezbollah and the Israeli army.
But Hezbollah has stepped up its rocket attacks on Israeli positions in recent days, with the latest assault targeting beyond the border area that the group usually strikes.
Hezbollah launched "a combined air attack using decoy and explosive drones that targeted" two Israeli bases north of Acre, the group announced in a statement, while Israel said they did not hit their targets.
The Lebanese group added the attack was "in response" to an Israeli drone strike that killed one of its members in south Lebanon earlier in the day.
Israel's army said it had "successfully intercepted two suspicious aerial targets off the northern coast".
On Tuesday morning, a source close to Hezbollah told AFP an Israeli drone strike deep into Lebanon killed an engineer working for the group's air defence forces as he was travelling in a vehicle.
