An Israeli soldier was killed and two others injured in a drone strike from Lebanon in the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights. The Israeli army confirmed on Saturday evening that the drone loaded with explosives had hit the town of Margaliot. Israel’s air defense was able to intercept a second enemy aircraft from Lebanon in the morning, the military said. In response, targets in Lebanon were attacked.
It was initially unclear who launched the drones. The Lebanese Hezbollah militia only stated that it had attacked Israeli soldiers in the morning. Since the beginning of the Gaza war following the Hamas massacre in Israel on October 7, there have been repeated confrontations between Israel’s army and militant groups such as Hezbollah in the Israeli-Lebanese border region. It is the worst escalation since the second Lebanon war in 2006.
