Israeli Drone Crashes into South Lebanon
An Israeli reconnaissance drone crashed Sunday evening into Lebanese territory, the Israeli army said.
The Israeli military said the drone was on a mission over the border area.
It added that no classified information was compromised as a result of the crash.
The incident comes amid heightened tensions on Israel’s borders with Lebanon and Syria.
The tensions surged after an Israeli airstrike in Syria killed five Iran-backed fighters including a member of Lebanon’s Hizbullah.
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah had vowed that the group would retaliate to the killing of any of its fighters in Israeli strikes in Syria.
