More than 60 people have been injured in a drone strike targeting the Binyamina region of northern Israel, medics have said.

In a statement, volunteer emergency response organisation United Hatzalah said the conditions of the wounded ranged from critical to mild. It said all had been taken to five regional hospitals, either by ambulance or helicopter.

Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for the attack, which it said targeted a training camp of the Israeli Defence Forces’ (IDF) Golani Brigade in the area, which is based between Tel Aviv and Haifa.

The armed group’s media office said the strike was in response to Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon and Beirut on Thursday.

      Seconded. Did it impact a legitimate military target? Where any civilians injured or killed? If so, how many? What’s the deets??

      Israeli censorship rules prevent media outlets saying exactly where or what was targeted, but some media outlets say the location was hit by a low-level drone launched from Lebanon - a relatively unsophisticated weapon that appears not to have activated early warning alarms.

      Frustrating.

        And that’s the real problem. They control the whole media reporting when it comes to a lot of this war, so we have no idea what is true and what is propaganda.
