The Lebanese Resistance downed an Israeli UAV that had violated Lebanese airspace over Wadi al-Azziya near Zibqin, southeast of Tyre, the military media of the Lebanese Islamic Resistance said Monday.
The UAV was shot down during a routine maneuver carried out by the Israeli occupation forces, Israeli media reported.

The Israeli Walla! news website said the Israeli occupation forces claimed that there were no fears about a data leak using the drone.
The occupation aircraft penetrate the Lebanese airspace almost constantly, which constitutes a violation of International Resolution No. 1701 issued by the UN Security Council in August 2006.
Back in January, the Israeli occupation forces announced that an Israeli unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) crashed in the Mediterranean Sea due to a "malfunction", as per the Jerusalem Post.
The spokesperson for the IOF, Avichay Adraee said in a tweet that “the crash occurred due to a malfunction”, adding that “the drone was retrieved and the crash is being investigated”.
He noted that "the entire fleet of the drone in question, which it did not identify, would be grounded until the investigation is completed."
