The Israeli military announced on Tuesday the injury of two soldiers, one severely, in a drone attack carried out by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon on Monday.
“An IDF soldier was severely wounded and another was lightly hurt in a Hezbollah explosive drone attack in southern Lebanon yesterday,” the military announced, referring to Israeli occupation forces.
The soldiers, one of them in serious condition, were taken to a hospital and their families were notified, the occupation army added.
Hezbollah has made frequent use of small FPV drones in its attacks on Israeli troops in recent weeks.
The drones operated by the Lebanese resistance group have emerged as a “principal and evolving threat” following a series of operations in southern Lebanon that Hebrew media described as “horrific.”
Israeli Channel 12 reported on Monday that “Hezbollah has increasingly relied on explosive drones as a central weapon, rather than rockets and anti-tank missiles,” noting that the group “demonstrates considerable operational proficiency in their use.”
For its part, the Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot described “explosive drones as the most serious threat currently facing military forces,” calling the situation “no longer exceptional, but a tangible and continuous reality.”
Hezbollah issued a video on Monday, showing the drone strike that killed an Israeli soldier and wounded six others in the southern Lebanese town of Taybeh.
