Israel’s military announced it shot down a surface-to-air missile fired at an Israeli drone from Lebanon Saturday. It was not immediately clear if the missile was fired by Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
Lebanese security officials said two missiles were fired toward an Israeli drone flying over Lebanon but did not hit the target.
The explosion of an Israeli interceptor missile was meanwhile heard over Lebanon's Tyre region.
The Israeli army said it attacked the site from which the missile was fired at its drone, as Lebanese media reports said an Israeli drone bombed the heights of Lebanon's Jabal Safi, which lies around 25 kilometers away from the border.
The Israeli army later said that an Israeli drone targeted a cell that was trying to fire anti-tank missiles from Lebanon at Israel's Hanita.
Al-Hadath television meanwhile reported Israeli shelling on the Lebanese border areas of Naqoura, Alma al-Shaab and al-Labbouneh, noting that the shelling triggered blazes in the area. Machinegun fire was also reported in the area.
