An IDF observation balloon was shot down by Hezbollah over the Lebanon border, the military acknowledges.

The IDF says the balloon crashed in Lebanon following Hezbollah missile fire. It says there is no fear of information being taken from the sensors and cameras on it.

Hezbollah claims responsibility for launching missiles at the balloon and other military positions near the community of Adamit.
