Israeli soldiers fire shots at a drone on the Lebanese border, only to realize afterward it belongs to the Israel Defense Forces.
The soldiers initially suspected the drone had crossed from Lebanon into Israeli airspace, the IDF says.
They fired at it due to a “mistaken identification.”
It is not immediately clear what type of drone was fired upon.
The drone was not damaged in the incident, the military says.
