Hezbollah: IDF Stole Our Drone – We Were Shooting a Music Video

This past July, an IDF unit identified and downed a drone that had penetrated from Lebanese territory into Israeli airspace, which happens in the northern part of the Israel every few months. During that incident, the IDF electronically hijacked the device and landed it in Israel.

“The Northern Command continues to maintain a high level of preparedness and will not allow any violation of the sovereignty of the State of Israel,” the IDF said in a statement.

A Lebanese television station linked to Hezbollah claimed in a broadcast that IDF engineers managed to seize operational control over the drone; however, the IDF neither confirmed or denied the claim.
