Hezbollah drones explode inside Israel in military area, no injuries reported

Hezbollah aircraft exploded inside Israeli territory on Sunday morning, in what the Israel Defense Forces described as a military area near the Lebanese border. The IDF said alerts were triggered at 8:07 a.m., and later reported that “two suspicious aerial targets” were identified inside the State of Israel. There were no casualties, and the incident is under investigation.

Military sources said the projectiles landed in a military zone and not in a civilian settlement. Since the ceasefire framework took effect, the army has been distinguishing between impacts in villages and impacts in military areas, and has been updating the public accordingly.

Israeli officials have previously said that any Hezbollah fire intended to cross the border and hit Israeli communities would trigger an Israeli strike in Beirut’s Dahieh district. A senior cabinet figure said last Tuesday, a day after the latest ceasefire announcement with Iran, that Israel had ordered the army to preserve its “formula” against Hezbollah. “If there is fire meant to cross the fence, toward our settlements, we will fire at Dahieh, and we will see what happens in Iran,” the official said.

Israeli sources said that despite ongoing Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon, especially in Tyre, Iran has not responded or intervened for Hezbollah. They said the IDF is deepening its maneuver and destroying strategic infrastructure Hezbollah built in the Beaufort area, which they said could improve life for northern residents for “20 to 30 years.”
