BEIRUT: Hezbollah said today it carried out a drone attack on an Israeli military position near the northern Israeli town of Metula.
The Israeli military later confirmed two soldiers were killed in the attack.
Iran-backed Hezbollah also said it had sent dozens of rockets towards military targets across the border with Israel.
Israel and Hezbollah, which has amassed a formidable arsenal since 2006, have been engaged in daily cross-border strikes over the past six months, in parallel with Israel’s war in Gaza.
Hezbollah has so far restricted its attacks to a strip of northern Israel, seeking to draw Israeli forces away from Gaza.
