IDF says airbase photographed by Hezbollah ‘not harmed’
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
The IDF responds to Hezbollah’s drone video showing the Ramat David Airbase, saying that the “activity of the base was not harmed.”
“The video released by Hezbollah was filmed by an unmanned aerial vehicle for photography purposes only,” the military says in a statement.
The IDF says it has been operating against Hezbollah’s aerial forces, striking hundreds of sites belonging to the unit in Lebanon in recent months.
“The Air Force uses all means to protect the skies of the State of Israel and will continue to do so,” the IDF adds.
The IDF does not elaborate on whether it identified the drone that flew over the airbase, located some 50 kilometers from the Lebanon border.
