Several Hezbollah drones targeted an Israeli military base and a vehicle in the city of Nahariya, north of Haifa, one day after an Israeli strike in southern Lebanon had killed another commander in Hezbollah’s Radwan unit.

"In response to the attack and assassination carried out by the Israeli enemy in the town of Abba, the Islamic Resistance fighters launched an air attack on Tuesday, August 6, with a squadron of suicide drones that targeted the headquarters of the Golani Brigade and the headquarters of the Egoz Unit 621 in the Shraga barracks north of occupied Acre, hitting their targets accurately and achieving confirmed hits," Hezbollah said in a statement.

Video footage circulating on social media showed Hezbollah drones flying over Nahariya. Other footage depicted plumes of smoke in the distance, a result of the explosions.

The party also said it had targeted an Israeli tank with guided missiles in the vicinity of the Ruwaisat Al-Alam site in the Kfar Shuba hills, causing casualties.

Sirens blared across Israel following suspected drone infiltrations and shelling from Lebanon. Reports soon indicated that drones targeted Acre in Galilee, resulting in a direct hit on an Israeli camp in Nahariya, along with explosive-laden drones striking a vehicle.

Israel’s Army Radio said 17 people were injured in the drone attack, including one seriously. 

"The State of Israel must decide to enforce the law, and what is happening in Nahariya should happen in Beirut," Nahariya's mayor stated.
