67 injured after drone breaches Israel’s defenses without warning

67 Israelis have just been injured in a drone attack that breached Israel’s defense without warning. Meaning there were no alerts for the Israeli people to run for cover and there was no attempt to intercept the drone.

Some 67 people were injured in a drone attack in Israel, including four who were in critical condition, Israel’s Channel 12 reported.

The attack, for which Hezbollah claimed responsibility via its Telegram account, occurred near the city of Binyamina, south of Haifa.

The Israel Defense Forces are investigating why no sirens were activated prior to the attack and why the drone wasn’t intercepted, Haaretz reported, without saying where it got the information.

Hezbollah said the attack targeted an Israeli military training camp near Binyamina.

Following the explosion, the military said the Israel Air Force had intercepted an unmanned aerial vehicle that was launched from Lebanon toward the ocean.

It’s really shocking that Hezbollah managed to do this without detection and managed to injure so many people. My guess is that they flew the drone extremely low to keep Israel’s detection systems from seeing it.

Hezbollah will pay dearly for this attack. Of that you can be sure.
