The Times of Israel reports: An Israeli drone crashed inside southern Lebanon in the predawn hours of Monday morning, the army said.

The Hezbollah terror group claimed to have shot down the aircraft as it crossed the border with Lebanon, a week after a confrontation between the terror group and Israel. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed that the drone fell inside Lebanese territory.
