Israel blames Hezbollah attack for injuring three soldiers

Israel said Hezbollah’s drone attack seriously wounded three soldiers, and the IDF struck Hezbollah targets in response, killing a battalion commander, officials said.

  • On Saturday, a Hezbollah explosive drone struck near Yahalom combat engineering troops on the Ali Taher Ridge at approximately 2:30 a.m., seriously wounding three soldiers operating in the security zone.
  • In response to the ceasefire violation, the IDF struck a central Hezbollah command center in the Al-Ansar area overnight, targeting the headquarters that ordered the attack.
  • The IDF killed Ali Hassan, a battalion commander in Hezbollah's Radwan Force, in the Al-Ansar strike, along with Ali Samir al-Haj Hassan, another Radwan Force commander killed in a separate operation in the Kafr Ansar area.
  • Lebanese reports indicate 11 people were killed and 19 wounded across the strikes, prompting Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam to condemn the operation as a "dangerous escalation" threatening regional stability.
  • Hezbollah threatened that Israel's "aggression, violations and attempts to impose a fait accompli" would be met with an appropriate response, as Israeli officials released an unusual Shabbat statement to address international concerns.
