Multiple sources report a drone attack on an Israeli military base in northern Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 4 Israeli soldiers and severe injuries to 7 others. The attack is attributed to Hezbollah, who claimed it as retaliation for Israeli strikes on Beirut that killed 22 people. Hezbollah also stated that the attack targeted the Israeli Defense Forces' elite Golani Brigade.

1. It is not storming a base. It is not trying to enter a base. It was a tank under heavy fire, mass casualty event, backing up to get out of harm's way.
Daniel Hagari
Israel Defense Forces
1. We are studying and investigating the incident — how a drone infiltrated without warning and struck the base.
2. The threat of UAVs is a threat we are dealing with since the beginning of the war. We need an improvement to our defense.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Israeli Government
1. We regret the injury to the UNIFIL soldiers, and we are doing everything in our power to prevent this injury. But the simple and obvious way to ensure this is simply to get them out of the danger zone.
2. It is time for you to remove UNIFIL from Hezbollah's strongholds and from the fighting areas.
Abbas Araqchi
Iranian Foreign Ministry
1. While we have made tremendous efforts in recent days to contain an all-out war in our region, I say it clearly that we have no red lines in defending our people and interests.
Hezbollah
1. These drones broke through the Israel defense radars without detection and reached its target at the training camp of the elite Golani Brigade in Binyamina.

1. Nothing less was expected. We are at the beginning of the war in Lebanon, not at the end of it. And everyone so enthusiastic about this war should know that it will carry a very heavy price.

1. They're also difficult to intercept with aircraft because the UAV's (drones) fly slowly.
2. High powered lasers are being worked on and the other technology is using microwave cannons to burn the drone electronics.
3. Most, if not all, of the drones are manufactured by the Iranians and then supplied to the armed groups in Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen.
4. These technologies will hopefully be available in the very near future.

1. Usually, the sirens go off when something is heading towards a location so civilians and residents of that area are told to seek shelter. That's why there have been a very small number of injuries throughout the past year from those attacks.
