Tel Aviv: The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have confirmed that their Northern Command headquarters in Safed was attacked by an explosive-laden drone launched by the Hezbollah group.
However, the IDF said in a statement that no injuries or casualties were reported in the attack.
The IDF said that a building was attacked, causing minor damage.
The army said it launched interceptor missiles at several more UAVs that entered Israeli airspace from Lebanon.
The Israeli Army’s statement revealed that several rockets and missiles were also fired from the Lebanese side in the Malkia and Yiftah areas on the border.
The IDF confirmed that it launched a series of attacks on Hezbollah positions in Kafr Qila, southern Lebanon, on Tuesday morning.
It also said that the drone launching squad was attacked before it could be launched.
It is noteworthy that Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah had said in two addresses on television that Israel would not be spared. This was in response to the killing of the deputy political chief of the terrorist group Hamas, Saleh al-Arouri, allegedly by Israel in Beirut last Tuesday.
However, following the Hezbollah chief’s televised threat on Monday, Israel carried out another drone strike that killed veteran Hezbollah commander Wissam al-Tiwal while he was traveling in a car with another man.
