Several homes in northern Israel were damaged by helicopter fire during attempts to shoot down a Hezbollah drone this morning, the IDF says.
The helicopter had used its 30mm cannons to shoot down the drone over the Lebanon border, according to the IDF.
“As part of the interception attempts, a small number of homes in Israeli territory were hit by artillery shells that were fired,” the military says, adding that no injuries were caused and the incident is under further investigation.
