JAKARTA - Lebanese Hezbollah armed groups launched a series of drone and rocket attacks on northern Israel. But Hezbollah warned of much-anticipated retaliation for the assassination of an important Israeli commander last week has not yet occurred.

As reported by Reuters on Tuesday, August 6, Hezbollah said it launched strike drones at two military locations near Acre in northern Israel, and also attacked Israeli military vehicles at other locations.

The Israeli military said a number of enemy drones were identified as crossing from Lebanon and one intercepted. It said several civilians were injured in the southern coastal city of Nahariya.

Reuters TV footage shows one impact location near a bus stop on the main road out of town.

In a statement, the Israeli military said the sirens were heard around Ancre, but it turned out to be a false warning.

Israel explained that its air force attacked two Hezbollah facilities in southern Lebanon.

Earlier, four people were killed in an attack on a house in the city of Mayfadoun, Lebanon, nearly 30 km (19 miles) north of the border, medical officers and security sources said.

Two additional security sources said those killed were Hezbollah fighters, but the group had not yet sent a death notice as usual.
