Israel said on Thursday it had shot down a suspected
Hezbollah drone. An Israeli military spokesman, Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, said the
unmanned aircraft was detected as it was flying over Lebanon and tracked as it
approached northern Israel.
The military waited for the drone to enter Israeli
airspace, and that an Israeli F-16 warplane shot it down after confirming the
aircraft did not belong to friendly forces, said Lerner.
It was not immediately clear whether the drone was
armed.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was touring
northern Israel at the time of the incident, said Israel will prepare as
necessary in the face of any threat. He called the incident one of "utmost
gravity."
