Hezbollah claims to down Israeli drone, fire at IDF tanks
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
The Hezbollah terror group claims to have downed an Israeli drone and fired at IDF tanks in Lebanon today.
“In response to the criminal Israeli aggression… the Islamic Resistance shot down an Israeli drone in the skies of Nabatiyeh… using appropriate weapons,” the terror group says in a statement.
In separate statements, Hezbollah claims to have fired on Israeli Merkava tanks near the Lebanese villages of Kfar Shouba and Kfarkela.
The IDF has not commented on the claims.
Hezbollah earlier took responsibility for launching dozens of rockets and several drones at northern Israel today amid US and Israeli strikes on Iran, which backs the Lebanese terror group.
