Hezbollah drone attack in north of Israel kills four Israeli soldiers

Israel's military said a Hezbollah drone had killed four soldiers at one of its northern bases, as it expanded its bombardments of Lebanon and troops battled militants across the border.

The attack on a military training camp in Binyamina, near Haifa, is the deadliest such assault on an Israeli base since 23 September, when Israel increased its attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon. Emergency services reported more than 60 wounded.

"On Sunday [October 13], a drone launched by the Hezbollah terrorist organization struck a military base adjacent to Binyamina," the statement reads. "As a result of the attack, four soldiers were killed and seven more sustained severe wounds."

The statement added that "all wounded people were hospitalized" and the incident is under an investigation.

Authorities in Gaza, meanwhile, said the death toll from an Israeli strike on a school being used as a shelter for displaced people had risen to 15, including whole families.
