Hezbollah resumes drone fire at northern Israel with Iranian approval, IDF says
Early on September 2, 2026, air raid sirens were activated in multiple areas of northern Israel following the launch of a Hezbollah drone that penetrated Israeli airspace from Lebanon. This marked the first such incident in two months. The IDF stated that interceptors were fired at a suspicious aerial target, with results under review and no casualties reported. According to IDF assessments, the drone launch was carried out with Iranian coordination and approval, aiming to create high tension on the northern border and provoke a broad Israeli response. The goal, as assessed, was to force the IDF to halt its military operations on the Ali Taher ridge just before a decisive outcome.
