Hizbullah Downs Israeli Drone in South

Hizbullah on Thursday announced downing an Israeli unmanned drone in south Lebanon.

In a statement, the group said its militants downed the drone at 1:55 pm after targeting it with the "appropriate weapons."

The statement said the drone was brought down as it was hovering over the Maryamin valley in the outskirts of the southern town of Yater.

The Israeli army meanwhile announced that the drone "fell during routine activity" and that the incident was being "investigated."

Hizbullah had vowed to down Israeli drones overflying Lebanon after an explosive-laden drone blew up over Beirut's southern suburbs in August 2019. It has since announced downing several Israeli drones in Lebanon's skies.
