Israel brings down suspected Hezbollah drone

The Israeli army on Tuesday said it downed a small suspected Hezbollah drone as it crossed from Lebanon into northern Israel.

“Troops identified and downed a drone crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory a short while ago,” the Israeli army said on its English-language Twitter account, adding that the drone “most likely” belongs to Hezbollah.

“We will continue to prevent any attempts to violate Israeli sovereignty,” the Israeli army added.

The development comes a few hours after the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said an Israeli airstrike targeted a warehouse in the Damascus suburb of Sayyida Zeinab, killing three "non-Syrian nationals" allegedly affiliated with Hezbollah.
