Lebanese media, citing the Hezbollah terror group, say an Israeli military drone was downed over southern Lebanon.
“The Islamic Resistance downed an Israeli drone that penetrated Lebanese airspace… near the southern town of Zibqin,” the Hezbollah-linked Al-Manar television says.
The IDF confirms a drone “fell” in Lebanon during routine surveillance activity. It says there is no fear of sensitive information leaking.
Lebanon regularly complains about Israeli surveillance drones invading its airspace, but the Israel Defense Forces maintains that such incursions are necessary to track the activities of Hezbollah, which the Lebanese government is supposed to keep in check.
