A Hezbollah drone flying near the Lebanese-Israeli border is “hijacked” by the Israel Defense Forces and flown into Israeli territory, where it was brought down, a Lebanese journalist affiliated with the terror group reports.
The IDF says it is aware of the reports and is looking into the matter.
According to the Lebanese reporter, Ali Shoeib, the drone was being used to film a music video for a Hezbollah orchestra along the border when the IDF “took control of it electronically” and flew it some three kilometers into Israel.
The device sent back photos from above Israeli territory before it was brought down, Shoeib says in a tweet, sharing one of the images.
