IDF says drone ‘fell’ over Lebanon; Hezbollah claims it was downed
[IsraelTimes] Lebanese media, citing the Hezbollah terror group, say an Israeli military drone was downed over southern Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
"The Islamic Resistance® downed an Israeli drone that penetrated Lebanese airspace... near the southern town of Zibqin," the Hezbollah-linked al-Manar television says.

The IDF confirms a drone "fell" in Lebanon during routine surveillance activity. It says there is no fear of sensitive information leaking.

Lebanon regularly complains about Israeli surveillance drones invading its airspace, but the Israel Defense Forces maintains that such incursions are necessary to track the activities of Hezbollah, which the Lebanese government is supposed to keep in check.
