The IDF struck the remains of its Elbit Hermes 900 drone that was shot down by Hezbollah over southern Lebanon days ago.
In a statement, the IDF says “the Air Force struck the aircraft earlier today and destroyed it.”
Hezbollah downed the UAV with a surface-to-air missile on Saturday.
The IDF responded by striking sites belonging to the terror group’s air defense unit in northeastern Lebanon’s Baalbek.
