OCCUPIED JERUSALEM — The Israeli military said two drones, suspected to have been launched by militant group Hizbollah from Lebanon, struck northern Israel on Sunday but caused no casualties.

 

"Two impacts of suspicious aerial targets in Israeli territory were identified near the Israel-Lebanon border. No injuries were reported," the military said.

 

In the wake of the strikes, two far-right Israeli ministers called for retaliatory strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs, a Hizbollah stronghold known as Dahiyeh.

 

Israeli officials including prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu have previously warned that Israel would strike Dahiyeh should the Iran-backed Hizbollah group target northern Israeli communities, a position they say has the backing of Washington.
