‘DIRECT HIT…’: Hezbollah DESTROYS Israel’s ‘Deadliest Aircraft’, Back-To-Back Strikes On IDF Troops

Hezbollah released dramatic footage that it says shows its forces shooting down an Israeli Hermes 450 (“Zik”) military drone over the skies of Nabatieh in southern Lebanon, underscoring how the long-running conflict along the Israel–Lebanon border continues to evolve. The Israeli military, which has deployed unmanned aircraft for surveillance and support of ground troops, confirmed that one of its drones was hit by a surface-to-air missile and crashed overnight, but said there was no risk of sensitive information being compromised and that the incident is under investigation.
