The resistance group released a brief statement via its Hezbollah Military Media Center's Telegram Channel, stating that the drone was brought down by an appropriate weapon in the Lebanese airspace over the Zibqine Valley in south Lebanon.

The statement further mentioned that more details would be provided at a later time.

Confirming the incident, the zionist occupation military acknowledged that one of its drones had fallen in Lebanese territory. However, they described it as occurring during routine activity.

Hezbollah's Secretary General, Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, has consistently emphasized the group's determination to confront any violations by israeli drones.

In August 2019, following an attack on the group's Media Relations Headquarters in Beirut's southern suburb, carried out by two explosive-laden drones, Nasrallah declared that Hezbollah would shoot down Israeli drones entering Lebanese airspace.

The downing of the israeli drone by Hezbollah highlights the ongoing tensions between the two parties and Hezbollah's commitment to defending Lebanese sovereignty in the face of such incursions. (ILKHA)
