An explosive drone launched by Hezbollah impacted in the northern border community of Metula on Monday, striking a resident’s home but causing no injuries.

The incident prompted far-right ministers to demand ramped-up fighting in Lebanon, ahead of a potential Iran-US deal that could curb Israeli action against the terror group.

According to Hebrew media reports, the drone exploded on the roof of a home in the community, but no one was hurt.

The incident came amid a series of drone infiltrations throughout the day, which set off sirens in communities along the Israel-Lebanon border. No injuries were reported in any of the incidents.

After sirens sounded in the community of Arab al-Aramshe, the IDF said that a “suspicious aerial target” was identified but that contact with it was later lost, suggesting a drone was spotted but then left the monitored area, or it fell.

A few hours later, sirens again sounded in a raft of border towns, warning of another suspected drone infiltration. Shortly thereafter, in an apparent explanation of the sirens, the IDF said a drone had hit in an area where troops were operating in southern Lebanon.

In the wake of the Metula impact, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must “inform” US President Donald Trump that the war in Lebanon is being restarted.

“We must not normalize the reality of explosive drones. The time has come for the prime minister to bang on Trump’s desk and inform him that we are returning to war in Lebanon,” Ben Gvir declared in a statement, days ahead of a planned round of Israel-Lebanon talks in Washington.

“We must cut off the electricity in Lebanon, conquer the Zahrani, and return to high-intensity warfare,” he added, referencing a river north of the Litani River, indicating a wish to expand the area held by the IDF.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for strikes on Beirut in a separate statement that also announced his approval of an NIS 2........
