The IDF says one of its drones was downed by a Hezbollah surface-to-air missile over southern Lebanon a short while ago.

The announcement comes after Hezbollah said it shot down an Elbit Hermes 450 UAV over Lebanese airspace.

The IDF says the incident is under further investigation.

In February, Hezbollah managed to shoot down another Hermes 450 drone, prompting IDF strikes deep in Lebanon for the first time in years.
