ALBAWABA- Hezbollah has escalated its attacks on Israeli positions, using drones to target an Israeli force south of the Al-Kush colony, resulting in numerous casualties. According to Israeli media, 11 people were injured, with one in critical condition, following a drone explosion in the Hurfish area in the Upper Galilee.

Hezbollah claimed responsibility for bombing a deployment of Israeli soldiers in Horsh Baram, stating that they achieved a direct hit.  

Reports from the field indicate that more than two people have died in the Hurfish incident, with over 20 injured, five of them critically. The attack on Hurfish is considered the most severe in northern Israel since the war began.

In response to the escalating situation, Israeli Channel 12 reported that Ben Gvir left the flag parade in Jerusalem to attend an urgent security meeting in the north.

Meanwhile, Israeli ministers are calling for a large-scale operation in southern Lebanon to neutralize the Hezbollah threat, as reported by Israeli Channel 13.
