The spokesman did not specify the exact location of the drone impact. In general, such information is not allowed to be published in Israel. This is because adversaries can use this information for future attacks.
One person was killed in Hezbollah rocket and drone attacks in Israel, according to emergency services. Megan David Adom assistants explained that the 50-year-old was hit by shrapnel in his car.
Israel: 115 missiles fired from Lebanon
According to the Israeli military, around 115 projectiles were fired from Lebanon towards Israel in the morning. Some were intercepted while others were attacked in open areas. However, according to media reports, some also hit populated areas such as Grijad Atta, east of the port city of Haifa. Iran-aligned Hezbollah confirmed firing rockets at Israel.
An air alert was also issued in the southern coastal city of Tel Aviv. A drone was heading toward the Glilot district, home to the headquarters of Mossad, the Israeli foreign intelligence service, and another secret service headquarters. According to the military, sirens wailed in several places in northern Israel, such as the city of Tiberias on the west shore of the Sea of Galilee.
Deaths were reported in Lebanon
Meanwhile, several deaths were reported from Lebanon: two people were killed in an Israeli attack on the Lebanese city of Jounieh, according to Lebanese reports. Lebanon’s health ministry said the attack was on a car. The city is located north of Beirut.
The area where the drone attack took place is predominantly Christian in a multi-religious country. This created panic among the residents. Witnesses said they previously felt safe from Israeli attacks. This is the first time that Zuni has been hit since the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah broke out. The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the attack.
Tension after Sinwar’s murder
The Health Ministry also reported an attack in Jefta, in the south of the country. 3 people died and 1 person was injured. According to the Lebanese news agency NNA, overnight and early morning attacks took place in the coastal city of Sidon, Nabatija in the south of the country and Bind Jubail, not far from the Israeli border.
In southern Lebanon, Israel’s military said it killed Hezbollah deputy commander Nasser Abed al-Asis in Bint Jubail, near the border. In addition, the ground forces, supported by the air force, killed large numbers of the enemy and dug up weapons caches of fighters allied with Iran. The information could not be independently verified at first.
Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shiite militia allied with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, has fired rockets and drones at Israel almost daily since the Gaza war began in October last year. Following news of the death of Hamas leader Jahja Sinwar in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, Iran-backed militias announced “a new phase of escalation”.
Many people were killed in the attack in the Gaza Strip
In the Gaza Strip, where Israeli soldiers killed Hamas leader Shinwar on Wednesday, Israeli ground forces killed several “terrorists” in the southern city of Rafah and in the northern Jabalya. This information could not be independently verified at first.
Several deaths were reported earlier in the Gaza Strip: 33 people were killed in the Jabalya refugee camp on Saturday night, according to the Palestinian Authority’s Civil Defense Authority. Doctors said that 85 people were injured in the attack by the Israeli army. The death toll could rise as more are believed to be under the rubble, the Hamas-led government’s news office said. According to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, children were among the dead.
On October 6, Israel launched a new offensive in the north of the Gaza Strip around Jabalya. Israel said it would crack down on Hamas militants regrouping there. Already at the beginning of the Gaza War, the area was the scene of heavy fighting. According to Palestinian reports, at least eleven people were killed in another attack on Al-Maqassi refugee camp in the Gaza Strip. Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that some people were still missing under the rubble.
