STORYLINE:
At least eighteen people were injured and one was in critical condition in a drone attack on northern Israel on Tuesday, according to the Deputy Director General of the Galilee Medical Center.

Dr. Tsvi Sheleg said the critically injured patient is suffering from a "severe shrapnel wound to the head".

"He has been in the operating room for several hours and the doctors are trying to fight for his life," he added.

The Israeli military said “a number” of drones entered from Lebanon, one of which was intercepted.

It said several civilians were wounded near the coastal town of Nahariya, some 6 kilometers (4 miles) south of the border, without giving a precise number.

Lebanon’s Hezbollah launched a drone attack Tuesday on northern Israel, wounding at least seven people, in response to the killing of one of its fighters in an Israeli airstrike.

The attack did not appear to be linked to Hezbollah’s vow to avenge the killing of one of its top commanders in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut the previous week, which has raised fears of an all-out war.

Hezbollah has launched near-daily drone and rocket attacks since the start of the Gaza war in what it says is an act of solidarity with the Palestinians.

Israel has responded with airstrikes, one of which killed four people in southern Lebanon earlier Tuesday, according to Lebanese authorities.

Hezbollah said it launched a drone attack targeting army bases in northern Israel in retaliation for the killing of a lower-level commander in a strike late Monday.
