Hezbollah has said it shot down an Israeli drone in southern Lebanon today, nearly five months into near-daily cross-border clashes sparked by the Gaza conflict, AFP reports.

Hezbollah’s “air defence unit shot down… a large Israeli Hermes 450 drone with a surface-to-air missile” in south Lebanon, the group said in a statement.

The group said its “fighters’ eyes will remain vigilant and will keep shooting down enemy aircraft and preventing them from achieving their aggressive goals”.
