Two were left wounded after a drone that crossed into Israeli territory from Lebanon crashed in the area of the Bar Lev Industrial Park in northern Israel on Sunday morning, according to military and Magen David Adom reports.
The MDA stated its paramedics were providing medical care to two men in their 60s and 30s who had sustained moderate and light wounds, respectively.
MDA paramedic Eyal Boies recounted what he saw upon arrival at the scene.
"We were led to the two victims who were injured by shrapnel. The 61-year-old male sustained a moderate injury to his upper body, while the 31-year-old male had a light injury to his hand; both were fully conscious," he stated.
"We provided them with medical care and subsequently evacuated them in MDA ambulances to the hospital with their conditions being moderate and light. At the scene, we also treated several other individuals suffering from anxiety," he added.
The police noted that the drone had exploded on the roof of a building in the Acre area and that forces were operating at the scene.
According to Israeli media reports, the drone hit a security plant.
