An explosive drone launched by Hezbollah was located in Israeli territory, close to the border with Lebanon, this morning, the military says.
The IDF says no damage or injuries were caused by the drone, and sappers are working to safely remove it from the area.
The incident is under further investigation, the military adds.
Images show that the first-person view (FPV) drone, which was guided by a fiber-optic cable, landed without the warhead exploding.
