The IDF announced the deaths of two reservists killed via drone strike in Metulla in northern Israel on Tuesday morning.

The soldiers were identified as St.-Sgt.-Maj. (Res.) Dan Kamkagi, 31, from Kfar Oranim, and St.-Sgt.-Maj. (Res.) Nahman Natan Hertz, 31, from Elazar.
Hezbollah said the same day that it carried out a drone attack on an Israeli military position near the northern Israeli town.
Iran-backed Hezbollah also claimed that it had sent dozens of rockets towards military targets across the border with Israel.

Parallel to the war in Gaza

Israel and Hezbollah, the latter amassing a formidable arsenal since 2006, have been engaged in daily cross-border strikes over the past six months, in parallel with Israel's war in Gaza.
