An explosive drone launched by the Hezbollah terror group hit a home in Metula, northern Israel, on Monday afternoon.

This is the first time since the start of a war that an explosive drone has directly struck a residential structure in Israeli territory.

The strike caused physical damage to the building, and medical teams are treating one person at the site, who suffered from shock.

The drone which hit Metula was part of a larger attack which included a number of explosive drones launched by Hezbollah towards Israeli territory. The other drones launched during the attack did not hit targets or built-up areas.

The IDF confirmed: "Following the sirens that sounded regarding a hostile aircraft infiltration in several areas in northern Israel, the Hezbollah terrorist organization launched a number of explosive drones toward IDF soldiers and Israeli territory."

"As a result, an explosive drone impact has been identified in Metula. The incident is under review."
