The base used by the British Royal Air Force (RAF) in Akrotiri, Cyprus, was targeted by drones that were believed to have been launched by Hezbollah, a close ally of Iran. The attack unfolded amid a broad wave of Iranian strikes across the Middle East in response to U.S. and Israeli actions against Iran. Hezbollah, after more than a year of a fragile ceasefire with Israel, resumed attacks on Israel during this wave. Hezbollah has previously expressed concern over the use of Cyprus for military action against Hezbollah and has warned Cyprus against allowing Israeli military operations from the island.
