Lebanon’s Hezbollah said on Monday it had launched a squadron of drones towards the headquarters of the Israeli military’s Galilee formation in an intensification of cross-border violence between the two adversaries, Reuters reports.
While Hezbollah has previously launched drones at Israel during hostilities that began in October, it marked the first time the group had announced firing a squadron of them.
The hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel have rumbled on in parallel with the war between Israel and the Palestinian group, Hamas, in the Gaza Strip, raising concern about the risk of a bigger conflict across the Israeli-Lebanese border.
Hezbollah also said it had launched dozens of Katyusha rockets towards Israeli targets in the occupied Golan Heights.
Air raid sirens sounded numerous times across northern Israel, sending residents running for shelter. The Israeli military said it had intercepted one drone from Lebanon carrying explosives, and at least two others fell in northern Israel.
Continuous rocket and drone launches since Sunday have set off massive wild fires in Israel’s north.
The military also said it carried out strikes against Hezbollah compounds and one of its operatives.
