Israeli forces come under two missile attacks in Eritrea, senior officer killed

Israeli forces have come under attack in Eritrea with reports saying the armed offensive led to the killing of a senior officer amid an ongoing war between Palestinian resistance groups in the besieged Gaza Strip and the Israeli regime. 

Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television news network, citing military sources, reported the development on Thursday and said two missile attacks were carried out against Israeli forces stationed in Eritrea.

“The first attack took place at an Israeli base in the Dahlak Archipelago, and another attack targeted the highest peak of Mount Amba Suir, where Israeli forces use as an observation post in the Red Sea,” the news network said.

The source said the Dahlak Archipelago is the Israeli forces’ largest base abroad and hosts the regime’s air fleet which includes dozens of fighter jets.

The sources also confirmed the killing of a senior Israeli military officer during the raid.

No group or individual has so far claimed responsibility for the attacks, and Israeli authorities have yet to comment on the reports.
