Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group, carried out a drone attack on a military post in northern Israel this week, injuring three soldiers. This marks the first successful missile airstrike launched by Hezbollah from within Israeli airspace. The group has been escalating its attacks on Israel in response to recent events, including the Israeli incursion into the Gaza Strip.

Hezbollah's recent attacks have included the use of advanced weaponry such as drones capable of firing missiles, explosive drones, and guided missiles. The group's tactics have evolved to reduce casualties among its fighters while maintaining pressure on Israeli forces. Hezbollah has also diversified its arsenal, using rockets with heavy warheads and introducing new weapons like the Almas missile.

The ongoing conflict has resulted in casualties on both sides, with Hezbollah losing over 250 fighters compared to 15 Israeli troops since the border clashes began.
