Lebanese military forces intercepted and targeted a Zionist unmanned aerial vehicle as it was on an espionage mission in the skies over the southern part of the country, only about two weeks after Hezbollah resistance fighters shot down an ‘Israeli’ aircraft in a similar incident.

“At around 17:10 p.m. local time, a drone belonging to the ‘Israeli’ enemy penetrated the Lebanese airspace over the town of Ayta al-Sha’b,” Lebanon’s official National News Agency cited a statement released by the Lebanese Army on Thursday.

It added, “The drone was shot down by members of one of the army posts 200 meters away from the Blue Line,” which separates Lebanon from the ‘Israeli’-occupied territories.

The Zionist military, meanwhile, alleged that one of its drones had fallen inside Lebanon during “operational activity” along the frontier.

“There is no risk of breach of information,” an unnamed Zionist army spokesman said, offering no further details.

On August 23, Hezbollah said in a statement that it had shot down an ‘Israeli’ drone near the border town of Ayta al-Sha’b, and was in possession of the aircraft.

Lebanon's government, Hezbollah and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon [UNIFIL] have repeatedly condemned the ‘Israeli’ overflights, saying they are in clear violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and the country's sovereignty.
