In a dramatic escalation of regional tensions, Hezbollah launched a large-scale drone attack on Israel, targeting areas from Nahariya to central cities like Tel Aviv, according to reports from Israeli and local media. Sirens blared across northern Israel, alerting residents to incoming drones originating from Lebanon, sparking widespread alarm.
The attacks began over Nahariya in the north and swiftly spread southward, with alerts reaching Acre, Haifa, and even as far as Hadera. The Israeli military confirmed it was tracking multiple drones that had breached Israeli airspace, though it remains unclear the extent of the damage or if interceptions were successful.
The Times of Israel reported that Hezbollah’s drone deployment represents one of the most intensive aerial provocations by the Lebanese group in recent years. Israeli forces remain on high alert, with air defense systems engaged as more drones are detected along the northern coastal plain.
This high-stakes development raises questions about regional stability as both sides test each other’s defense lines. With tensions at a boiling point, can diplomatic channels intervene before a larger conflict erupts across the Lebanon-Israel border?
