Hezbollah has taken an unprecedented step by launching a squadron of drones aimed at Israeli military targets. This marks the first such action by Hezbollah since the onset of its current conflict with Israel, which coincides with the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

Hezbollah announced on Monday that it had dispatched drones towards the headquarters of the Israeli military's Galilee formation. This development follows a series of hostilities along Lebanon's southern border. Over recent days, the region has experienced an increase in both the intensity and frequency of confrontations.

The Israeli military has not yet commented on Hezbollah's drone attack. However, sirens blared three times across northern Israel on Monday, signaling potential attacks from Lebanon. In a related event, the Israeli military reported killing Ali Hussein Sabra, a member of Hezbollah's "Force Build-up Unit." Additionally, Israeli forces targeted Hezbollah infrastructure, including several military compounds in southern Lebanon’s Qotrani area.

Hezbollah stated that its drone assault was a retaliation for Israel's killing of one of its operatives in Zrariyeh, a village in southern Lebanon. Furthermore, Hezbollah claimed responsibility for launching drones on Sunday towards Liman in northern Israel.

The border area has seen a noticeable uptick in violence, with both Israeli and Hezbollah forces striking targets beyond the immediate border region. On Sunday, Israeli airstrikes resulted in the deaths of two civilian men in the town of Houla. These men, who had stayed in the town throughout the conflict to tend to their cattle, were laid to rest on Monday. Residents and security sources provided this information.

Adding to the tense atmosphere, Israeli warplanes were observed flying at low altitudes over Beirut on Monday, according to local residents.

In summary, the recent drone attack by Hezbollah signifies a new phase in the ongoing conflict between the group and Israel. This escalation occurs against the backdrop of heightened hostilities along Lebanon’s southern border, with both sides conducting operations beyond the immediate conflict zone. The situation remains volatile, with potential for further escalation in the coming days.
