Hezbollah drone swarm strikes Ramat David airbase and Meron air control base in northern Israel

·Ramat David airbase / Mount Meron, northern Israel

Hezbollah launched a swarm of one-way attack drones at dawn targeting radar sites and control rooms at Ramat David Air Base, and struck the air traffic control installation on Mount Meron. Hezbollah cited retaliation for Israeli strikes on Lebanese cities and towns.

Hezbollah announced a large-scale drone swarm attack at dawn Tuesday (local time) against Ramat David Air Base in northern Israel, deploying a swarm of one-way attack drones targeting radar sites and control rooms at the installation. The group also struck the air traffic control base on Mount Meron and separately attacked a base in the Golan Heights with rockets. Hezbollah stated the attack was in response to 'the criminal Israeli aggression on dozens of Lebanese cities and towns.' The Israeli military confirmed intercepting projectiles fired from the direction of Lebanon. Some drones penetrated Israeli air defenses and reached their targets at Ramat David. The attack represents a significant escalation in Hezbollah's offensive drone operations, directly targeting strategic Israeli Air Force infrastructure. This follows Hezbollah's earlier Monday strikes against an Israeli military base in northern Israel 'in revenge for Khamenei's death.' Israel has simultaneously launched a ground incursion into southern Lebanon displacing 30,000+ civilians and killing 52 in Monday airstrikes.
