Hezbollah downed on Monday at 12 p.m. an Israeli drone which flew into Lebanese southern airspace, the resistance group said.
In a second statement issued to illustrate the incident, the Islamic Resistance indicated that the Zionist military drone penetrated the Lebanese airspace from Zareit settlement and flew at middle altitudes over Ezzeyye Valley near Zibqin.
The statement added that the enemy’s drone roamed a range of 7 kilometers before the Islamic Resistance fighters downed it by “an appropriate weapon.
The Islamic Resistance provided the following video and photos to show the moment the drone was downed.
For its part, the Israeli occupation military confirmed one of its drones “fell in Lebanese territory,” but claimed that it was “during routine activity.”
Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah has repeatedly stressed that Hezbollah will confront any violation by Israeli drones.
“From now on we will confront the Israeli drones when they fly into Lebanese airspace. The resistance will shoot the drones down,” Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah said in August 2019, after two explosive-laden drones targeted the group’s Media Relations Headquarters in Beirut’s southern suburb (Dahiyeh).
