The Israel Defense Forces says troops downed a small drone that flew into Israeli airspace from Lebanon.

The military says it suspects the small off-the-shelf device was launched by the Hezbollah terror group.

According to the IDF, the aircraft was monitored during its flight until it was downed near the border town of Zar’it.

The military did not specify how the drone was brought down as it entered Israeli airspace; however, it was believed to have been using electronic warfare means.
