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.
