The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah, announced the execution of an attack against Israeli occupation forces using three attack drones.
The first drone targeted the "Yiftah Kadesh" barracks (in the occupied Lebanese village of Qadas), while the other two targeted the newly established gathering east of "Hatzorit Yehoshua" (in the occupied Lebanese village of Prophet Yehoshua).
The Israeli occupation forces reported that three drones infiltrated into the airspace of occupied Palestine from Lebanon before one of them was intercepted.
Israeli media confirmed that three Israeli soldiers were wounded by gunfire in northern occupied Palestine and were airlifted by helicopter to the Rambam Hospital in Haifa.
later on, the Israeli media said that 5 Israeli soldiers were critically injured as a result of attack drones and ATGM attacks from Lebanon.
In a rare escalation, heavily armed confrontations erupted on Thursday evening between Islamic Resistance fighters from Lebanon and Israeli occupation forces stationed in the "Misgav Am" military base, an Al Mayadeen correspondent in southern Lebanon reported.

The confrontations, which lasted for over 30 minutes, come as operations against Israeli bases in northern occupied Palestine in support of Gaza expand in both nature and volume.
Earlier, the resistance announced that they had attacked the Israeli "Rameem" military site with appropriate weapons and a group of Israeli infantry soldiers in "Shtula" with guided missiles. Direct hits were confirmed.
It also targeted two gatherings of occupation forces: one between Hadab al-Bustan and Birkat Risha, and the other in the al-Dahira field.
An Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that an Israeli military target in the occupied Hounin Valley was shelled with guided missiles.
The Israeli al-Jardah point was also directly attacked, as well as the sites of Hadab al-Bustan and Birkat Risha.
The Al Mayadeen correspondent added that sirens sounded in the "Shtula" area and the "Zar'it" Israeli barracks in occupied Palestine.
The Israeli occupation forces fired phosphorus shells on the outskirts of the town of Markaba, near a point belonging to the Lebanese Army, in the aftermath of the attacks.
The Israeli occupation also bombed the outskirts of the villages of Al-Jabin, Yarin, Houla, Mais al-Jabal, Umm al-Tut, and Marouhin.
The Resistance on Thursday announced targeting an Israeli infantry force in the occupied Lebanese town of Tarbikha "in support of our Palestinian people and in support of their resistance," adding that its fighters targeted the Israeli infantry force with rocket weapons and achieved direct hits.
The Islamic Resistance also confirmed its fighters targeted two Israeli Merkava tanks in the "Metulla" Israeli base using guided missiles, confirming that the tanks' crews were either killed or wounded in the process.
