Iraqi drone strikes an IDF Base

Two Israeli soldiers were killed and 24 were wounded in a drone attack by an Iran-backed militia in Iraq early Thursday morning, September 3, 2024. According to an IDF probe, 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. Sirens had sounded in several Golan communities when the first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) entered Israeli airspace, but the probe found that there was an apparent failure to detect the second drone in time, and therefore alerts were not activated and the soldiers on the base did not have time to seek shelter.
