Hezbollah Says Downed Israeli Drone As Cross-Border Attacks Continue

Hezbollah fighters shot down "a Hermes 900 drone armed with missiles to carry out attacks on our regions" using "air defence weapons", the group said in a statement.

Lebanon's Hezbollah said it shot down an Israeli drone on Monday, while the Israeli military confirmed a drone had been downed, amid near-daily cross-border attacks between the Iran-backed group and its arch-foe.

Hezbollah, a Hamas ally, has traded near-daily fire with Israeli forces in the eight months since the Gaza war began, triggered by the Palestinian group's October 7 attack.
