Sergeant Omri Tamari, Sergeant Yosef Hieb, Sergeant Yoav Agmon and Sergeant Alon Amitay, all 19, died in the attack near Binyamina in central Israel.Hezbollah said it had targeted a base belonging to the IDF's Golani Brigade with a "swarm of drones".The drone strike hit shortly before 7pm on Sunday, hitting a packed dining hall inside the base, according to local reports."We are required to provide better protection.
Hezbollah said the attack was retaliation for Israeli strikes on Beirut last Thursday that left 22 people dead."Then there were three warnings to prepare for impact. It fell on us out of nowhere. There was no way to escape.The Alma Center, an Israeli research institute, said the drone has a 120-kilometre assault range and a top speed of 370 kilometres per hour.
It has the capacity to carry up to 40 kilograms of explosives, and the ability to fly up to 3,000 metres, the institute says.After Sunday night’s strike, Hezbollah threatened more attacks. It vowed the attack "in southern Haifa is nothing compared to what awaits it if it decides to continue its aggression against our… people".I’m in love with brother of man who killed my sister - my mum won’t talk to me
