Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah has carried out drone attacks on Israeli army bases. This attack was so deadly that 4 Israeli soldiers died and more than 60 were injured. The Israeli Rescue Service said that the military base located in Binyamina city was targeted. Lebanese extremist group Hezbollah has also claimed responsibility for the attack. Israel's air-defense systems are considered so strong that there is little chance of so many people being injured in a drone or missile attack. However, this time the damage has been done.
Israeli media reported that 2 drones were fired from Lebanon on Sunday. The Israeli army says that a drone was shot down. It is not clear at present whether the injured are civilians or soldiers. Hezbollah said in the statement that it targeted an Israeli military training camp in response to two attacks by Israel in Beirut. 22 people were killed in the attack in Beirut on Thursday. This is the second time in the last 2 days that Israel has been attacked by drones. A drone attack took place in a suburb of Tel Aviv on Saturday, in which no casualties were reported.
