A deadly drone attack by Lebanon-based Hezbollah militants targeted an Israeli military base near Binyamina early Monday, killing four soldiers and severely injuring seven others, according to Israel’s military. The strike marks one of the most severe cross-border escalations in weeks amid rising tensions.
The attack occurred just kilometers from residential areas, rattling locals already on edge due to frequent exchanges of fire. “This is a serious incident that underscores the volatile security situation,” an Israeli military spokesperson stated, without confirming whether the base housed advanced defense systems.
Hezbollah, which has exchanged near-daily strikes with Israel since October, claimed responsibility. Analysts warn the incident could deepen hostilities as regional powers monitor reactions from Iran and the U.S.
Meanwhile, Lebanon’s government faces renewed pressure to curb militant activities. For travelers, Israel’s northern regions remain under heightened security advisories.
