A drone attack on an Israeli military base in Binyamina, south of Haifa,
has killed three Israelis and wounded 67 others, according to Israeli media.

Notably, Israeli air defense systems failed to detect the drone, which
detonated without triggering air raid sirens in the area, as confirmed by
Israeli media outlets.

The strike reportedly targeted the dining hall at a base belonging to the
Golani Brigade.

It was reported that 50 ambulances rushed to the scene to transport the
casualties, with helicopters also being called in.

Hezbollah issued a statement in the wake of the operation, claiming
responsibility for it. "The Islamic Resistance carried out an operation on
the evening of Sunday, October 13, 2024, launching a squadron of attack
drones at a training camp of the Golani Brigade in Binyamina, south of
Haifa," the statement read.

The Resistance said the operation was in response to "Israel's" massacres
across Lebanon, particularly its aggression on the Lebanese capital a few
days ago

.

"The Islamic Resistance will remain present and ready to defend our country
and our proud, oppressed people, and will not hesitate to fulfill its duty
in deterring the enemy," it added after underlining that the operation was
carried out as part of the series of Khaibar operations and in support of
the people of Gaza and their resistance, as well as in defense of Lebanon
and its people.

The military media wing of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah
reissued a warning to Israeli settlers, reiterating a statement made days
earlier by the Resistance operations room.

Hezbollah had earlier said: "The Israeli enemy forces are using the houses
of settlers in some settlements in northern occupied Palestine as assembly
points."

"The Israeli enemy's bases used as operations rooms for the aggression on
Lebanon are within densely-populated cities such as Haifa and Tabarayya,
among others," the warning added. "All the aforementioned houses and
military bases are legitimate military targets for the Rocket and Air
Forces of the Islamic Resistance. Therefore, we warn settlers against
gathering near these military sites in order to preserve their lives until
further notice."
