The Times of Israel: Why the Israeli army failed to intercept Hezbollah drones that attacked the Golani Brigade camp?
The Times of Israel revealed the reason behind the Israeli army’s failure to intercept Hezbollah drones that attacked the Golani camp near Haifa on Sunday night.
According to the Israeli newspaper, the drones weren’t detected on radar because they were flying at a very low altitude, making them difficult to detect.
The newspaper reported that Israeli Air Force planes and helicopters tried to chase the drones, but they disappeared from radar, most likely because they were flying close to the ground.
The sirens weren’t activated because the Israeli forces believed that the drones had crashed or been intercepted once they disappeared from radar.
In this context, the Israeli army announced on Monday that four soldiers were killed as a result of the Hezbollah attack on the military base near Haifa, in addition to wounding more than 67 soldiers.
Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari stated that the attack was carried out by a drone targeting a military base near the Binyamina region.
The wounded were taken to hospitals, while the families of the victims were notified.
On the other hand, Hezbollah issued a statement announcing the implementation of a qualitative operation by launching dozens of missiles at multiple targets in the areas of Nahariya and Acre, in order to distract the Israeli air defense systems.
