Hezbollah launched a combined explosive drone attack today (Monday) that ended with a direct hit and an explosion in Metula. The event began with a series of hostile aircraft intrusion alerts in several different areas and communities in the Upper Galilee, which sent the remaining residents in the area to protected areas.
The Upper Galilee Regional Council distributed a message to residents: “About twenty minutes ago, an aircraft hit a house in the Har Hazfia neighborhood in Metula. There were no casualties, but damage was caused to the structure, and a fire is developing at the scene. We will continue to update as necessary.”
The IDF Spokesperson’s Office reported that the terrorist organization launched the explosive drones to target IDF forces deployed in the area and within the territory of the State of Israel. The surveillance and air defense systems tracked the hostile vehicles, but ultimately, one of the explosive drones struck a residential area in Metula. The force of the explosion caused great panic in the area, and medical and security forces immediately rushed to the scene.
