| [JPost] Smack em harder Two drones were launched toward Israel, but one of the UAVs penetrated deep into Israel, crashing in the Binyamina area. No alarms were activated. Four IDF soldiers were killed and another seven were seriously wounded in Hezbollah's drone attack targeting a military base near Binyamina, the IDF reported on Sunday night. All wounded soldiers were evacuated to hospitals for further medical treatment, and notifications were sent to the families of both dead and wounded. The IDF noted that the incident is under investigation. A Hezbollah drone struck the Binyamina area on Sunday evening, wounding around 67 people, with four potentially mortally wounded, according to Magen David Adom and the IDF. The drone was sent from Lebanon under the cover of a Hezbollah rocket barrage. Two drones were launched toward Israel, with one shot down over sea, but one of the drones penetrated deep into Israel, crashing in the Binyamina area. No warning sirens were activated, which the IDF will be probing. Later, Army Radio reported the following updates: "New details have emerged from the preliminary investigation into the drone strike in the Wadi Ara area: The Air Force is investigating whether the drone that triggered alarms in the Nahariya and Acre area at 6:45 PM is the same one that exploded in Wadi Ara about half an hour later, around 7:15 PM. Since contact with the drone was lost after it crossed over Nahariya and Acre, there's a possibility it's the same device. Hezbollah reportedly launched 'two or three drones simultaneously' during the incident. One of them was intercepted by the Navy over the sea. Contrary to earlier reports, the drone was not detected by detection systems, did not trigger any alarms, and no interception attempts were made."The alarm that sounded at 7:00 PM in Talmei Elazar, near the impact site, was unrelated to the drone incident and was caused by the interception of a ballistic missile launched from Lebanon at the time." MDA reported that four people were critically wounded, five were seriously wounded, and 14 were moderately wounded. [PUBLISH.TWITTER]

| #4 drones are more difficult to detect than heavy missiles what is worse is that they can be moved around easily and it is more difficult to wipe them out on the ground Hezbollah has, supposedly, a considerable missile force still which contains their most powerful and accurate missiles but they haven't used them perhaps because once they do, there is no more intimidation from having them |

| #2 Not sure they will learn. I see Israeli troops often bunched up. |
