More than 60 people have been injured in a drone strike targeting the Binyamina region of northern Israel, medics have said.

In a statement, volunteer emergency response organisation United Hatzalah said the conditions of the wounded ranged from critical to mild. It said all had been taken to five regional hospitals, either by ambulance or helicopter.

Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for the attack, which it said targeted a training camp of the Israeli Defence Forces’ (IDF) Golani Brigade in the area, which is based between Tel Aviv and Haifa.

The armed group’s media office said the strike was in response to Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon and Beirut on Thursday.

    Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for the attack, which it said targeted a training camp of the Israeli Defence Forces’ (IDF) Golani Brigade in the area, which is based between Tel Aviv and Haifa.

    The armed group’s media office said the strike was in response to Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon and Beirut on Thursday.

    The group said it targeted the camp in northern Israel using a “swarm of drones”.

    Israeli censorship rules prevent media outlets saying exactly where or what was targeted, but some media outlets say the location was hit by a low-level drone launched from Lebanon - a relatively unsophisticated weapon that appears not to have activated early warning alarms.

    Would be nice if Israel let Journalists do their job. This way the only source on the targets is Hezbollah. Given the type of attack it seems probable though that they hit the claimed military base. If civilians were attacked i would be surprised, if the information would be under censorship.

      Seconded. Did it impact a legitimate military target? Where any civilians injured or killed? If so, how many? What’s the deets??

      Frustrating.

        And that’s the real problem. They control the whole media reporting when it comes to a lot of this war, so we have no idea what is true and what is propaganda.

    Interesting. I can’t wait for more information to come out. The outlets reports don’t seem very useful so we’ll have to wait and see if the drones were able to saturate Israels air defense.

    Pre-emptive: this was an act of violence and if you cheer it, the comment will be removed.

    Feel free to call me a horrible Zionist when that happens. It has nothing to do with Israel and everything to do with Rule 6 in the sidebar.

      You’re a horrible zionist when that happens. Rule 6 is AIPAC propaganda. I know it’s you, Netanyahu. The “Flying Squid” nickname is a dead giveaway.

        I’m always a Zionist when I delete a comment that is both a valid criticism of Israel and violates our rules according to certain people.

        I don’t think they understand that’s possible.
