Iran-backed Hezbollah downs ******** drone in southern Lebanon

AMMAN (Reuters) – Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah said on Sunday it downed an ******** drone that was on a combat mission in southern Lebanon.

The drone that was brought down above the Al Aishiyeh area in southern Lebanon was “waging its attacks on our steadfast people,” a statement said by the group said.

******** forces and Lebanon’s armed group Hezbollah have been exchanging ***** for over six months in parallel to the Gaza war, in the most serious hostilities since they fought a major war in 2006.

Hezbollah said the drone was an ******** Hermes 450, a multi-payload drone made by Elbit Systems, an *******-based weapons manufacturer.

The fighting has fuelled concern about the risk of further escalation.

At least 370 Lebanese, including more than 240 Hezbollah fighters and 68 civilians, have been ******* in the fighting according to a Reuters tally. Eighteen Israelis, including soldiers and civilians, have been ******* on the ******** side of the border, according to ******** tallies.
