It was reported earlier in the day that two Israeli drones crashed near Hezbollah's headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon, overnight, with one of them exploding in the air. The IDF has yet to comment on the alleged incident.
Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Harri has slammed the “Israeli aggression” as a “threat to regional stability and attempt to increase tensions” following the crash of two alleged Israeli drones in Beirut.
The prime minister has denounced the purported incident as “a blatant attack on Lebanese sovereignty” in “flagrant” violation of UN Resolution 1701 (2006) aimed at ending the hostilities between the Lebanon-based Hezbollah and Israel.
