Description
A drone struck central Israel on Sunday, wounding 61 people, a few of them seriously, the national rescue service said, in one of the bloodiest attacks in Israel in a year of war. The Lebanon-based Hezbollah claimed responsibility, saying it targeted a military camp.
The militant group called it retaliation for two Israeli strikes in Beirut on Thursday that killed 22 people.
With Israel’s advanced air-defense systems, it's rare for so many people to be hurt by drones or missiles. Israeli media reported that two drones were launched from Lebanon, and the military said one was intercepted.
It was not immediately clear whether military members were hurt or what was hit in the city of Binyamina. Israel's military provided some medical care to those hurt, and there were blast and shrapnel injuries. There were no details from the military, which earlier said at least 115 rockets were fired from Lebanon.
