IDF Strikes Hezbollah Targets in Lebanon After Drone Bomb Injures Israeli Soldiers
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted multiple attacks overnight Sunday in the Ali Taher mountain range in Lebanon in response to injuries sustained by an officer and two soldiers from an explosive drone detonated by Hezbollah. Lebanese reports indicated that Israeli Air Force jets carried out several airstrikes targeting various Hezbollah positions in the area. Concurrently, heavy artillery fire was directed at multiple targets in the villages surrounding the mountain range.
The injured soldiers belong to the Yahalom unit of the Combat Engineering Corps and were wounded around 2:30 a.m. during the drone explosion. They were evacuated to Rambam Hospital for medical treatment, with two soldiers in serious condition and the third in moderate condition.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant emphasized the government's stance on the incident via social media, stating, "No account in any arena will remain open. We will defend our soldiers and citizens with strength." This series of retaliatory strikes underscores the ongoing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah in the border region.
