Hezbollah says finding Israeli drone in southern Lebanon

Xinhua, January 18, 2017 Adjust font size:

The Lebanese Hezbollah group said on Tuesday that its militants found an Israeli spy drone that crashed a day earlier in southern Lebanon.

"The aircraft that crashed on the border with Palestine has been transported to a safe location for inspection," the Hezbollah media department said in a statement.

Israel conducted extensive contacts with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) on Monday after the drone went missing, the National News Agency (NNA) reported.

Media reports said the drone disappeared while hovering over southern Lebanon. Search operations were carried out afterwards in Naqoura and Alma al-Shaab. Endit
