Hezbollah flew a spy drone over northern Israel today, the Lebanese militant group claimed in a broadcast on its TV channel.
Lebanese security officials confirmed the flighty.
“A Mirsad drone of the Islamic Resistance flew over settlements in the northern part of occupied Palestine and later returned safely,” Al-Manar Television said.
Two Israeli military aircraft flew over southern Lebanon shortly after the drone’s flight, Lebanese officials said. Earlier Monday, an Israeli reconnaissance plane flew over southern and eastern Lebanon, the Lebanese Army command said.
It was the second flight over Israel by a Hezbollah drone. The Iranian-backed group sent such an aircraft over northern Israel on November 7, saying it was in response to repeated Israeli violations of Lebanese air space.
