Hezbollah’s deadly attack against an army base deep inside Israeli territory presents a major headache for Israel as it continues to struggle to defuse the threat posed by the group.

Hezbollah has fired an estimated 13,000 rockets into Israel over the past year in support of Hamas’ war with Israel in Gaza. Tens of thousands of northern Israelis have been displaced from their homes, and Israel has said its escalating war with Hezbollah is aimed at stopping those rockets so families can return home.

A Hezbollah-fired drone that killed at least four Israeli soldiers is the latest incident of an UAV bypassing the country's air defense systems.
