CONFLICT

Hezbollah drone attack kills four Israeli soldiers

By Jordi Bou

October 14, 2024 - Four Israeli soldiers have been killed in a Hezbollah drone attack on an army base in northern Israel, while Israeli strikes have killed scores of people in Lebanon and Gaza.

Four Israeli soldiers were killed in a Hezbollah drone attack on an army base adjacent to Binyamina in northern Israel, and seven others were severely injured.

The strike is the deadliest by the militant group on Israeli territory since the IDF launched its ground operation into Lebanon nearly two weeks ago.

Hezbollah said the attack near Binyamina was in retaliation for Israeli strikes on Beirut on Thursday that killed 22 people.

Meanwhile, the Lebanese health ministry says 51 people were killed across the country by Israeli air strikes on Oct 13, and in Gaza, an Israeli airstrike killed at least 20 people including children at the Al-Mufti school, according to two local hospitals. The school in Nuseirat was sheltering some of the many Palestinians displaced by the war.

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says 62 people were killed by Israeli strikes in the past 24 hours.
