The Israeli army activates its defenses against a march launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon
The Israeli army announced on Friday that its air defenses fired at a drone coming from Lebanon that entered Israeli airspace, in the second such incident in two days.
Lebanon's Hezbollah said in a statement Friday that it had launched the drone on a "reconnaissance" mission over Israel.
The Israeli army said in a statement that "a small hostile drone infiltrated from Lebanon into Israeli territory, where alarms were activated in the Galilee region, which prompted the residents to seek shelter in northern Israel."
The army added that "interceptor missiles were fired from the Iron Dome system" at the plane, and "planes and helicopters were called, and after a few minutes, the plane disappeared and the incident is under investigation."
For its part, Hezbollah announced that it launched a march "inside the Palestinian territories, which toured the targeted area for forty minutes on a reconnaissance mission that extended for seventy kilometers."
He added in a statement that "the plane + Hassan +" returned "safely after it successfully carried out the required mission", despite the Israeli army's attempts to "shoot it".
This evening, Israeli fighters flew at a very low altitude over Beirut, and residents of the capital could see them clearly, while the sound of their roar was heard throughout the city.
On Thursday, the Israeli army announced that it had "downed a Hezbollah drone that infiltrated Israeli airspace from Lebanon."
