An unmanned aerial vehicle was shot down on the border between Israel and Lebanon.

An Israeli drone, carrying out reconnaissance on the border with Israel and Lebanon, was shot down today by fire from the ground this afternoon. We are talking about a small reconnaissance drone, which was located above the city of Kfar Kela.

Israel refuses to admit the loss of a drone, referring to the fact that the latter was not shot down, but crashed due to a technical malfunction, which, however, is refuted, since shooting can be heard on the video.

It should be noted that Israel continues to exacerbate the situation on the border with Lebanon, which may result in new clashes between the Lebanese military, Hezbollah and the Israeli military.

It is not known for what purpose the Israeli drone violated the airspace of a sovereign state, however, such incidents occur regularly, which is primarily due to the fact that Lebanon lacks effective air defense systems capable of fighting Israeli combat aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles.
