The Israeli Defense Forces said on Tuesday that it shot down a Hezbollah drone that had crossed into Israeli airspace.

“Our troops downed a Hezbollah drone that crossed from Lebanon into Israel today. In addition, we located another Hezbollah drone that we downed a few weeks ago,” the IDF posted on Twitter.

The drone was closely surveilled the entire time, it said, and there were no reports of injuries or damage.
