At least three people were killed and 67 people injured in the Hezbollah drone attack in Israel’s Golani Brigade camp in Binyamina, according to Israeli media.

In a statement, Lebanese militant group Hezbollah said it launched a drone attack against an Israeli military training base south of the city of Haifa on Sunday evening.

The Iran-backed group launched “a squadron of attack drones at a training camp… in Binyamina, south of Haifa,” it said, in “response to Zionist attacks” including Israeli air strikes in the central Beirut neighbourhoods of Basta and Nweiri that killed 22 people on Thursday.

The head of Israel’s ambulance service said four people were in critical condition and five more were seriously hurt.

The Israeli military did not immediately provide further details.

Earlier on Sunday, a large barrage of anti-tank missiles from Hezbollah injured two Israeli Defence Forces soldiers. Multiple other soldiers were lightly and moderately injured.

“An initial review showed that an IDF tank that was trying to evacuate injured soldiers while still under fire backed several meters into a UNIFIL post,” the IDF said.

“Once the enemy fire stopped, and following the evacuation of the injured soldiers, the tank left the post.”

The Pentagon said that it will deploy a high-altitude anti-missile system and its US military crew to Israel to help the ally protect itself from potential Iranian missile attacks.

At the direction of US President Joe Biden, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin “authorized the deployment of a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery and associated crew of US military personnel to Israel to help bolster Israel’s air defenses following Iran’s unprecedented attacks against Israel on April 13 and again on October 1,” Pentagon press secretary Pat Ryder said in a statement.
