The IDF confirms one of its drones was shot down by the Hezbollah terror group over southern Lebanon this morning.
It says the David’s Sling medium-range air defense system successfully intercepted a surface-to-air missile fired by Hezbollah at an IDF drone, but a short while later a second missile struck the aircraft.
“As a result, the aircraft fell in Lebanese territory,” the IDF says.
Hezbollah in a statement said it had shot down a Hermes 450 drone over the Nabatieh area.
