 Hezbollah flew a spy drone over northern Israel yesterday, the militant group said in a broadcast on its TV channel. The Israeli military confirmed the overflight, saying an unmanned aerial vehicle operated by the Hezbollah organisation was identified crossing into Israeli territory. Two Israeli military aircraft flew over southern Lebanon shortly after the drone's flight, Lebanese officials said. Earlier yesterday, an Israeli reconnaissance plane flew over southern and eastern Lebanon. Hezbollah's Al Manar television said the "Mirsad" drone flew over towns in northern Israel and returned safely to Lebanese territory. It was the second time in recent months that the Shiite group has sent a drone over Israel. |
