Hezbollah shot down a new Israeli Hermes 900 drone, the resistance group announced on Monday as it kept up strikes against Israeli gatherings, sites and settlements in the Zionist entity’s north.
Hezbollah’s Military Media declared several operations after midnight on Sunday, stressing they were “in support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, in solidarity with their noble resistance, and in defense of Lebanon and its people.”
The first statement mentioned that the Air Defense Unit of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon shot down an Israeli Hermes 900 late on Sunday.
It’s the eighth Israeli medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) UAV to be downed by Hezbollah since the Lebanese resistance group opened the southern front in support of Gaza on October 8, 2023. Last week, the Hezbollah downed two Hermes 450 drones.
The second statement on Monday mentioned that the Islamic Resistance fighters launched a barrage of rockets targeting an Israeli artillery position in the so-called settlement of Odem.
