Four Israeli soldiers were killed and dozens wounded in a Hezbollah drone attack on central Israel in the deadliest strike by the militant group since Israel invaded southern Lebanon two weeks ago.
The Hezbollah drones wounded 61 soldiers after hitting a base near Binyamina, a town around 20 miles south of Haifa on Sunday, the Israeli military said. Hezbollah claimed to have targeted Israel’s elite infantry unit Golani Brigade, launching dozens of missiles to distract Israeli air defence systems during the drone assault.
The strike came just after Washington said it would provide Israel with an anti-ballistic missile defence system called Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (Thaad) as well as troops to help defend the Jewish state.
