On 13 October 2024, a Hezbollah UAV crashed in Binyamina, Israel.[1] At least 67 were wounded, four of them critically.[1][2][3]

Strike

On October 13, 2024, a drone launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon entered Israeli airspace and crashed near the town of Binyamina, located in the Haifa District of Israel.[1] The incident resulted in injuries to at least 67 people, with four individuals reported in critical condition. Medical teams, including a helicopter, were dispatched to the scene to evacuate and provide emergency care to the wounded.[1]

The attack involved the launch of three unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from Lebanon. While two of the drones were intercepted, one managed to penetrate deep into Israeli territory, crashing in the Binyamina area. The drone incursion occurred without the activation of alarm systems that would normally signal such an attack.[1]

Wounded

Magen David Adom (the Israeli medical service, or MDA) reported that four people were critically injured, five seriously, and 14 moderately. Three of the injured were airlifted to Sheba Medical Center, while two were taken to Rambam Health Care Campus. An additional 28 victims were transported to various hospitals by ambulance.[1]
