An initial investigation of the Hezbollah drone attack on an Israeli army base during the weekend revealed that the Iran-aligned Lebanese militant group launched two drones that entered Israeli airspace from the sea, The Times of Israel reported on Monday (Oct 14). The drones were Mirsad. The model is Hezbollah’s main suicide drone, the report said. Speaking to the publication, the Alma Center (an Israeli research institute) said that the Hezbollah drone had a 120-kilometre assault range and a top speed of 370 kilometres per hour.

Drones were tracked by Israeli radars The report further said that the drones were tracked by Israeli radars, and one of them was shot down off the coast north of Haifa. Airforce planes and helicopters pursued the second drone, but it dropped off the radar and the military lost track of it, likely because it flew very close to the ground. This drone ended up striking the Golani Brigade training base near Binyamina on Sunday night. Four soldiers were killed and more than 60 others were injured in the attack. Israeli military chief visits army base On Monday, Israeli military chief Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi visited the Golani Brigade training base and praised troops for how they handled the attack. "We are at war, and an attack on a training base on the home front is difficult and the results are painful," Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi told troops. The four soldiers who were killed were identified as Sgt. Omri Tamari, 19, from Mazkeret Batya; Sgt. Yosef Hieb, 19, from Tuba Zangariya; Sgt. Yoav Agmon, 19, from Binyamina-Giv’at Ada; and Sgt. Alon Amitay, 19, from Ramot Naftali. (With inputs from agencies)
