UAVs are one of “two major threats” Israel still faces from Lebanon, said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Two Israel Defense Forces soldiers were wounded, one seriously, by a Hezbollah drone in Southern Lebanon on Monday, the military said on Tuesday.
The casualties “were evacuated to receive medical treatment at a hospital, and their families have been notified,” according to the statement. The latest attack “constitutes a violation of the ceasefire understandings by the Hezbollah terrorist organization,” added the IDF.
On Tuesday morning, the army said it had launched an interceptor at another “suspicious aerial target” in an area where soldiers were operating in Lebanon, adding that “the results of the interception are under review.”
Hezbollah began firing rockets, missiles and drones at Israel on March 2, in retaliation for the Jewish state’s targeted killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Khamenei was eliminated in the opening strikes of “Operation Roaring Lion/Epic Fury” against the Islamic regime on Feb. 28.
