In a significant escalation of tensions, a drone strike targeted an Israeli army Golan Brigade base located north of Hadera, approximately 60 kilometers from the Lebanese border. The attack, reportedly carried out by Hezbollah, resulted in at least 28 casualties initially, with the number of dead and wounded Israeli soldiers and officers rising to 70, according to Hebrew sources.
The base, which is a key part of Israel’s defense network near the Golan Heights, was hit in the early hours of the day, causing substantial damage and loss of life. The drone strike is seen as part of the ongoing conflict in the region, further heightening fears of broader military confrontations.
Authorities are assessing the situation, and responses from Israeli military forces are expected as tensions continue to escalate between Israel and Hezbollah.
