ALBAWABA - Lebanon's Hezbollah released a statement claiming responsibility for a drone attack in Galilee on Tuesday, which reportedly injured three people. 

"Hezbollah fighters launched an attack with suicide drones in two phases... striking the Iron Dome (air defense system) platforms and their crew" Hezbollah's statement reads.

According to a report by The Jerusalem Post, residents of towns near the Lebanese borders have said that two explosive drones had crossed from Lebanese territory and fell in Beit Hillel. 

In response, Israel shelled the Lebanese town of Ain Baal, Tyre in the South Governorate of Lebanon. At least one person has been killed and several others were injured.
