Hezbollah airs drone footage showing strike on Iron Dome in northern Israel

The Hezbollah terror group on Sunday published footage it said showed an Israeli Iron Dome battery being hit in an explosive drone attack last week, as cross-border violence between Israel and Lebanon continued throughout the day ahead of an expected third round of direct talks later this week.

The dramatically stylized clip, dated Friday, May 8, shows a first-person view drone approaching an Iron Dome battery as a number of IDF soldiers stand nearby, seemingly unaware of the incoming threat. Hezbollah claimed the attack occurred in the Western Galilee near the Lebanon border.

The IDF had not previously publicized any such impact. It did not comment Sunday on the Hezbollah video.

The terror group has made frequent use of small first-person view (FPV) drones in its attacks on Israeli troops. Some of the drones are guided using a spool of fiber-optic cable, which makes them immune to efforts to electronically jam their signal.

Hezbollah claimed on Friday to have launched a swarm of drones at a sensitive Israeli military base in northern Israel. In a statement, the terror group said it targeted an air traffic control base that sits atop Mount Meron, around eight kilometers (five miles) from the border.

The military said Friday that two soldiers were wounded, including one seriously, by a drone impact in Israeli territory adjacent to the Lebanon border, not in the Meron area. It is unclear if it was the same incident shown in the Hezbollah clip.

Last month, the IDF admitted that Hezbollah had succeeded in attacking an M548 cargo carrier in northern Israel, setting off a fire and wounding 12 soldiers. Several artillery shells in the area also exploded.
