The Israeli military has claimed that three drones, suspected to have been launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon, struck northern Israel in separate incidents, causing no casualties, AFP reports.

“Two impacts of suspicious aerial targets in Israeli territory were identified near the Israel-Lebanon border. No injuries were reported,” the military said in an initial statement.

Later, in a separate statement, the military said another “hostile aircraft” infiltrated the northern Israeli territory.

In the wake of the strikes, two far-right Israeli ministers called for retaliatory strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold known as Dahiyeh.
