A deadly drone attack by Hezbollah, launched from Lebanon, hit a military base deep inside Israel. This surprise assault shows Hezbollah's growing power and Israel's struggle to defend against new types of attacks. Four soldiers were killed and many more were hurt. The drone targeted the dining hall at dinner time, suggesting careful planning by Hezbollah. Israel's air defenses are designed to stop rockets and missiles, not drones. Drones are harder to detect because they fly low and slow, and change directions easily. This attack shows that Israel needs better ways to stop drones. It's not the first time Hezbollah has used drones to sneak past Israel's warnings. Previous attacks in Haifa and Tel Aviv also went undetected. Israel has been trying to stop Hezbollah's attacks with a ground operation and airstrikes, but Hezbollah keeps fighting back. Hezbollah can disrupt life in northern Israel and hurt Israel's military even when Israel tries to stop them. It's a tough fight, and both sides are suffering. Analysts say Hezbollah can keep fighting a long war, causing lots of damage to Israel. This shows that even though Israel has hit Hezbollah hard, the militant group is still strong. The war might be getting bigger, with more Israeli soldiers going to Lebanon and many people leaving their homes.
