Panic gripped Israel's northern border town of Metula after warning sirens were sounded over a suspected drone attack by Iran-backed Hezbollah from Lebanon. Residents rushed to shelters as fears of a cross-border attack spread across the frontier community. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) later announced that the Israeli Air Force intercepted an unmanned aerial vehicle detected in an area where Israeli troops were operating in southern Lebanon, adding that missile and rocket alerts were activated during interception efforts. The drone alert followed Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon, including attacks in Nabatiyeh and Sidon. Israeli officials have also warned of further military action against Iran and Hezbollah if threats continue.
