A Hezbollah drone crossed into Israel on Thursday afternoon, setting off sirens in Haifa’s bayside suburbs along the country’s northern coast.
Israeli Air Force jets intercepted the unmanned aerial vehicle; amateur video footage shared on social media appears to show the moment that the drone was shot down.
