Hezbollah takes responsibility for this morning’s drone attack on a residential building in Nahariya, though it claims to have targeted an Israeli military base.
In a statement, the terror group says it targeted the IDF’s Shraga Camp, located some 3 kilometers south of Nahariya, with several explosive-laden drones. It says the attack was a response to recent IDF strikes in southern Lebanon.
According to the IDF, two drones were launched from Lebanon in the attack, one of which struck an apartment building in Nahariya, causing damage but no injuries.
Hezbollah also takes responsibility for a barrage of rockets at the Western Galilee, again claiming to have targeted a military base. The rockets struck open areas.
The terror group also claims to have launched a surface-to-air missile at an Israeli fighter jet over southern Lebanon, forcing it to retreat.
A senior Ukrainian official says Western partner countries must allow Ukraine to use weapons they have supplied to strike military warehouses inside Russia because of strong suspicions Iran has provided ballistic missiles for the Kremlin’s war effort.
Western countries supporting Ukraine in the war have hesitated to let its military strike targets on Russian soil, fearing they could be sucked into Europe’s biggest conflict since World War II, but the head of the Ukrainian presidential office says “protection is not escalation.”
“In response to the supply of ballistic missiles to Russia, Ukraine must be allowed to destroy warehouses storing these missiles with Western weapons in order to avoid terror,” Andrii Yermak says on his Telegram channel. He doesn’t specify which country is supplying the missiles.

Residents describe drone impact in Nahariya apartment building
Residents described the moment a drone fired from Lebanon hit their high-rise building, damaging two apartments. There were no injuries.
“It was very scary,” says Aviel Avshalom, 9, who was in school when the drone hit.
Despite the mayor’s announcement to parents not to pick up their children, his mother, Alina Avshalom, who lives in the neighborhood, says she hurried to pick up Aviel and her daughter, Miel, from school.
“I don’t have a car and I had to think twice but I didn’t want to leave the kids there,” she says.
Next to the driveway of the damaged building stands Dr. Maron Haj, a thoracic surgeon at Galilee Medical Center, who says that he was at work in the hospital when he heard the building was hit.
“Everything in our apartment was ruined,” he says. “We can’t live there. We have to figure out what to do next.”
US CENTCOM chief meets IDF generals, presented with plans for Lebanon operation
US CENTCOM chief Gen. Michael Kurilla, who is again visiting Israel, met yesterday with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi and other generals, the Israeli military says.
The IDF says the latest visit “focuses on current threats, with an emphasis on threats from Lebanon and Iran in the northern arena.”
After an assessment with Halevi, Kurilla met with Northern Command chief Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin at the command’s underground war room, where the military says he was “presented with the IDF’s operational plans for Lebanon.”
“The IDF will continue to deepen its relationship with the US Armed Forces, due to our commitment to strengthening regional stability and the coordination between the militaries,” the IDF adds.
