DUBAI (Reuters) – Lebanon’s armed group Hezbollah said it launched a swarm of attack drones against military targets in northern Israel on Tuesday.

A source within the group told Reuters it was not the group’s retaliation for Israel’s killing of Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut last week. Hezbollah has vowed to avenge him, prompting worries of a major escalation that could tip into a full-blown war.
