At least 67 people were wounded in Israel on Sunday when Hezbollah terrorists reportedly launched a drone strike at the country.

One of the explosives-laden drones was successfully intercepted in western Galilee. But the other device evaded Israeli air defenses and crashed in the Haifa region of Israel — exploding in the Binyamina area, Channel 12 and Ynet News reported.

The drone was allegedly targeting a Golani Brigade training camp, whose forces are among those operating in Lebanon, Hezbollah said.

Israeli officials did not say if the drone struck the training camp or who the wounded were, including whether any were Israeli soldiers.  

Four of the injured are in critical condition, with five others seriously wounded, according to Magen David Adom Director General Eli Bin.

The Israel Defense Force said all the wounded have been taken to nearby hospitals as it investigates the drone strike, which civilians said did not trigger alarms before the explosion.

Following the attack in the Binyamins area, the Israeli Air Force confirmed it intercepted another drone fired from Lebanon.

Hezbollah immediately claimed responsibility for that attack, which was targeting the Ramot Menashe area.

The Iran-backed terror group said it carried out the attack over the IDF’s assault in Lebanon and airstrikes in Beirut.  

Sunday’s attack is the latest of Hezbollah’s constant drone and missile barrages against the Jewish state, with the terror group firing more than 300 rockets on Saturday during Yom Kippur.

While there were no casualties recorded in either weekend attack, a Hezbollah missile barrage on Thursday killed an Israeli couple as they were walking their dogs in Kiryat Shmona.

The attacks continue to escalate as Israel is conducting ground raids in Lebanon aimed at dismantling Hezbollah’s rocket firing stations and terror infrastructure around the border area.

The IDF boasted that its troops on the ground have killed more than 100 Hezbollah terrorists in the past week, with 50 launching sites destroyed along with 60 command centers.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant vowed that the operations will continue until Israel is assured Hezbollah can never return to the border villages.

The year-long conflict, which began after Hezbollah began firing at Israel on Oct. 8 in solidarity with Hamas, has claimed about 2,229 lives and left more than 10,000 wounded, according to Israeli and Lebanese officials.

Israel said the goal of its ground operation in Lebanon is to end Hezbollah’s ability to target northern Israel and allow tens of thousands of Israeli evacuees to return home.
