A recent attack in northern Israel has left more than 60 individuals injured, with several in critical condition, according to reports from first responders. While there has been no confirmation of fatalities at this time, the large number of injuries marks this as one of the deadliest attacks since the conflict began in October.
The incident occurred after Hezbollah, a militant group based in Lebanon, claimed responsibility for launching a swarm of attack drones on an Israeli infantry training camp known as "Golani," located in Binyamina, south of Haifa. This came as a direct response to Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon just days before, which resulted in 22 deaths and 117 injuries according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) stated that they had intercepted an unmanned aerial vehicle launched from Lebanon, but did not specify the location. United Hatzalah, a rescue service, reported providing assistance to over 60 wounded individuals in various states of injury, ranging from critical to light. Thanks to the quick response of helicopters and ambulances, all of the injured were transported to hospitals for treatment.
The Golani Brigade, an infantry unit of the IDF, has been stationed in southern Lebanon. It has not been confirmed by CNN whether the drone specifically struck the training camp. The injured were taken to hospitals across Israel, including the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center, which reported treating 36 individuals with varying degrees of injury from a "UAV incident."
The Sheba Tel Hashomer Medical Center in Ramat Gan confirmed treating three individuals, two of whom were in critical condition, while Rambam Hospital in Haifa reported treating three more. The Emek Medical Center in northern Israel stated it was treating four injured individuals, and Beilinson Hospital reported treating three. Bnei Zion Medical Center in Haifa also confirmed treating three individuals.
The attack has caused widespread concern and shock throughout Israel, with many calling for an end to the conflict and a return to peace. The injured individuals are receiving the best medical care possible, and our thoughts go out to them and their loved ones during this difficult time.
