00:05At around 7 o'clock in the evening, an unmanned aerial vehicle of Hezbollah infiltrated from

00:10Lebanon and struck this base.

00:11The results are difficult and there are casualties.

00:14At this point there is complete operational control on the incident.

00:17All the casualties were evacuated to hospitals.

00:20We are now busy with notifying their families.

00:22All the troops in the base were asked to call home and inform their families that they are

00:27fine.

00:28We are managing the incident.

00:29We will study and investigate the incident and how a UAV infiltrates without alerts and

00:33strikes the base.

00:35The threat of UAVs is a threat we have been dealing with since the beginning of the war.
