The dining hall of the Israel Defense Forces training base has been repaired and reopened one week after a deadly drone attack by Iran’s Lebanese terror proxy Hezbollah.

According to the Israeli Defense Ministry, restoration work was completed on the eve of the Sukkot holiday.

The drone strike on Oct. 13 killed four soldiers and wounded dozens more at the Golani Brigade training base, located near Binyamina in northern Israel.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant toured the dining hall the day after the attack, pledging to find solutions to the threat posed by Hezbollah’s unmanned vehicles.

“This is a difficult event with painful results,” he told officers who witnessed the attack. “We must investigate it, study the details and assimilate the lessons in a quick and professional manner.”

Gallant continued: “Faced with the threat of UAVs, we are concentrating a national effort and are engaged in developing solutions that will help deal with the threat.”
