DUBAI: Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah group said on Tuesday it had launched a drone attack targeting Israeli military bases north of the city of Acre, in its deepest attack into Israeli territory since the Gaza war began.
Hezbollah said it launched drone attacks on two Israeli bases in retaliation for the killing of a fighter Israel described as “significant”.
Hezbollah launched “a combined air attack using decoy and explosive drones that targeted” two Israeli bases north of Acre, the group said in a statement, adding it was “in response” to an Israeli drone strike that killed one of its members in south Lebanon.
Earlier, Hezbollah announced two of its members had been killed by Israeli fire, with the Israeli army saying it eliminated “two significant” members of the Iran-backed group in south Lebanon.
