Hezbollah drones attack Israel base in Haifa, rocket fire wounds 2 in Metula

Hezbollah said it launched drones at an Israeli base in the port city of Haifa on Wednesday, as clashes intensify more than a month into the war.

Hezbollah fighters "launched an air attack at 7:45 am (0545 GMT)... with a squadron of attack drones" on a "base in southern Haifa", the group said in a statement.

- Two wounded in Israel's Metula -

Hospital officials in Israel said a rocket fired from Lebanon has wounded two men, one seriously.

The men were wounded by rocket shrapnel on Wednesday in Metula, just across the border from Lebanon, said a spokesperson for the Rambam Hospital, where they were airlifted.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.

Hezbollah has fired thousands of rockets into Israel since Oct. 8, 2023, when it opened fire in solidarity with Hamas a day after its cross-border attack from the Gaza Strip.

All-out war erupted last month, when Israel carried out large waves of airstrikes and killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and most of his senior commanders.

Israel launched a ground invasion at the start of October.
