Six people were injured in the village of Arav Arav al-AramShadi, northern Israel, as a result of a drone and rocket attack by the armed group Hezbollah, according to Israel's national emergency health agency, Magen David Adom (MDA).

Earlier on the same day, Israel's Defense Forces (IDF) said warnings of airstrikes were lit twice within 10 minutes of the village.

Video footage of the unmanned Hezbollah plane that crashed in residential areas in the village has been circulating on the internet.

An MDA spokesman reported a rocket attack via uploads on social media.

"A report was received through the 101 MDA Circular that six people were injured, MDA emergency medical technicians and paramedics in collaboration with IDF medical forces provided care and evacuation to the Galilean Medical Center in Nahariya", he said as quoted by ANTARA from Sputnik, Wednesday, April 17.

The six people who were injured were all men in their 30s, one of whom was in serious condition.

The IDF said in the Telegram messaging app they had carried out a retaliatory attack on the source of the attack.

Moments ago, IDF fighter jets attacked the Hezbollah military complex in the Ash Shab area of southern Lebanon where terrorists operate, the IDF said.

Hezbollah has launched airstrikes on Israel since the Jewish nation began military operations in the Gaza Strip, Palestine.
