The Israel Defense Forces says its air defenses intercepted a surface-to-air missile fired from Lebanon aimed at an Israeli military drone.

The IDF unmanned aerial vehicle was not damaged in the attempt.

Footage from Tiberias in northern Israel shows a trail of smoke from the air defense missile.

The IDF says it is returning fire at the source of the missile fire.

Hezbollah has attempted to target Israeli military UAVs over northern Israel and southern Lebanon several times in recent weeks.
