Drone attacks in Binyamina, Israel, late Oct. 13 leave at least 39 people injured. Increased security likely; exercise increased caution.
Authorities will likely maintain an enhanced security posture in the Binyamina area late on Oct. 13 after The Lebanese Hizballah (LH) reportedly targeted the area with three drones. According to preliminary reports, the incident has left at least 39 people wounded. Authorities will likely update casualty figures in the coming hours. No further details were immediately available regarding the incident.
Additional drone and projectile attacks are likely amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran-backed Shi'a militias in the region. Projectile fire and drone attacks could result in short-term disruptions and heightened security measures in impacted locations.
Avoid the vicinity of the affected location until authorities have completely secured the area and given the all-clear. Heed the instructions of local security personnel. If incoming fire is reported in the general vicinity, stay indoors, away from windows and exterior walls. If possible, move to the ground floor or basement. Maintain contact with your country's diplomatic mission.
