Hezbollah Continues Attacks on Northern Israel With Fresh Done Launch

The Facts

• Lebanese militant group Hezbollah launched a drone attack on northern Israel's upper Galilee region. The Israeli military (IDF) said two of its soldiers were wounded and the attack ignited a fire.

• The attack appears not to be an escalation of violence but rather a part of its months-long battles along the Israeli border connected to the war in Gaza. However, Hezbollah did call its attack a response to Israel's recent killing of its top commander, Fouad Shurkur, and the leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh.

• This comes after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned Sunday that Iran and Hezbollah could attack Israel by Monday or Tuesday. US Central Command Gen. Michael Kurilla is expected to travel to Israel Monday to prepare for the potential attack.
