Hezbollah published on Monday scenes of the Israeli drone downed earlier in the day in Wadi al-Azziya, near the town of Zibqin, in southern Lebanon, confirming that it was shot down using appropriate weapons.
The Resistance added, in a statement, that "the drone violated Lebanese airspace from the direction of the Zareit settlement, north of occupied Palestine, and flew at a medium altitude, crossing about 7 km inside the Lebanese airspace," before it was shot down by the movement.

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 from the drone's capture.
Israeli aircraft violate Lebanese airspace almost constantly, which constitutes a violation of International Resolution No. 1701 issued by the UN Security Council in August 2006.
