Xinhua News Agency, Jerusalem, July 26 (Reporter Chen Wenxian Shanghao) The Israel Defense Forces issued a statement on the 26th saying that an Israeli drone crashed in Lebanon on the same day.
The statement said that the UAV crashed into Lebanon while performing a mission near the "Blue Line" between Israel and Lebanon. The statement did not mention the cause of the drone's fall.
Some Israeli media reported that the drone may have crashed and fell.
According to reports, Israeli Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Gantz said during an inspection of northern Israel that afternoon that in order to ensure its security interests, Israel will continue to take actions against Syria and Lebanon.
Israel has long regarded Lebanese Hezbollah as a major security threat and accused Iran of sending weapons to Lebanon Hezbollah via the Syrian land corridor. The situation near the Israeli-Lebanese border has been tense. Israel has repeatedly carried out air strikes on targets in Syria on the grounds of attacking the organization.
