Dozens of casualties have been sustained from a drone strike in the Binyamin area of northern Israel; it is the highest number of casualties in a single event since the October 7 massacre.
Magen David Adom Director General Eli Bin said that at least 67 people were injured Sunday evening, October 13, from a drone strike launched by Hezbollah that exploded near Binyamina in northern Israel. Four of the injured are defined as critical, five others were seriously injured and many others are in moderate condition.
MDA teams evacuated 39 casualties and the military and other ambulances evacuated another 25. Emek Medical Center in Afula declared a mass-casualty event.
Hezbollah launched two UAVs. Air defense systems intercepted one of them after alarms in the Western Galilee, including in Acre and Nahariya. But one of the two UAVs penetrated deep into Israel, and the explosion occurred in the Binyamina area without triggering an alarm.
An initial IDF investigation into the drone strike revealed two drones infiltrated Israeli airspace from Lebanon via the sea, the first of which was intercepted.
Less than an hour later, the Israeli Air Force intercepted a UAV that was launched from Lebanon in the northern naval area, according to the IDF. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the mass-casualty attack, which occurred in the Ramot Menashe area, and claimed that it was carried out in response to IDF attacks in Lebanon and in particular in Beirut.

“Dear Lord, we pray for all the people who were injured in yesterday’s major attack. We pray in Yeshua’s name for their full recovery which will not leave remnants of physical or psychological wounds. We thank You for preventing any deaths and we ask that You please continue to protect us and strengthen our military so it can thwart all terrorist attacks from now on.”
