The Israeli army confirmed on 4 October that two soldiers were killed and 24 others were wounded during a drone attack launched on Thursday by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI) on the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.
“Two explosive-laden drones were launched from Iraq in the attack, one of which was shot down by air defenses and the second impacted an army base in the northern Golan Heights several minutes later,” the Times of Israel reports, citing an army investigation.
The investigation further shows that air raid sirens failed to be activated as the second drone entered the Israeli-occupied Syrian territory.
“In addition to the two slain soldiers, another 24 were wounded in the attack, including two seriously, one moderately, and 21 lightly,” the Israeli news outlet details.
