Early on October 2, Hezbollah announced that it had shot down a drone of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) over the Israeli-Lebanese border.
The drone was targeted with an “surface-to-air missile” while it was conducting a sortie over the towns of Hunin and al-Malkiyya, the group said in a statement, adding that the drone received “direct hit” and “immediately crashed”.
The IDF confirmed that a surface-to-air missile was launched by drone. However it said that the drone in question was not hit.
The cell behind the missile launch as well as the launch site were targeted, the IDF said. It also announced that ground forces fired artillery shells toward the source of rocket fire after projectiles were launched at the Shebaa Farms and Mount Hermon region.
This was the second time Hezbollah has claimed to shoot down an IDF drone since clashes broke out on the Lebanon front following the October 7 Hamas-led surprise attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip.
The first drone was shot down on October 29, according to the group’s claims. The IDF didn’t comment on these claims back then.
Hezbollah maintains a large arsenal of short and medium-range air defense systems. Last month, it was confirmed that the group was in possession of the mysterious Iranian-made “358″ loitering anti-aircraft missile after it used one in an attempt to shoot down an IDF drone.
Clashes on the Lebanon front intensified in the last 24 hours. The IDF carried out a series of strikes against alleged Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon and killed two civilians who were herding their sheep near the border.
So far, clashes on the Lebanon front have claimed the lives of eight Israelis -six soldiers and two civilians- 45 fighters of Hezbollah, two fighters from the Lebanese Resistance Brigades, seven Palestinian fighters -three from the Hamas Movement and four from the Islamic Jihad- and seven Lebanese civilians -two shepherds, a teenager, two elderly men and two journalists-.
oy vey we lost a drone? well in that case we will just have to take the gloves off and really bring it to hamas. according latest reports there are still many hamas operatives in the remaining hospitals.
the gallant hezbollah squashing jewbugs and idf trannies day in day out.
the israelis are used to killing unarmed women and children in hospitals with american jdam bombs. biden will raise taxes to send more bomb because there are some children left.
“killed two civilians who were herding their sheep” they learned the lesson! the terrorists from the usoft didn’t kill them in afghanistan and so they lost!
