Hezbollah said in a statement that its warplanes had attacked a Hermes 900 Kochav drone and that such missiles had struck militants and civilian homes. Gunfights along the Lebanese-Israeli border have intensified in recent weeks as Israel advanced into the town of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
The Israeli army said a surface-to-air missile had been fired at the drone as it flew over Lebanese airspace, adding that the drone crashed in Lebanese territory.
"The incident is under investigation," the army said. The Hermes 900 Kochav is a medium-altitude, long-range drone capable of carrying four anti-tank guided missiles.
Hezbollah said on Saturday that its warplanes also attacked an Israeli military base in the border town of Kiryat Shmona with Burkan rockets, "suffering direct hits, starting fires and destroying parts." Burkan rockets can carry a 300-500 kilogram warhead.
The Israeli military confirmed that the rockets had landed at a military base in Kiryat Shmona, without providing further details.
Israeli media reported the rocket attack on Kiryat Shmona and published images showing significant damage to infrastructure. No casualties were reported.
An Israeli drone struck a motorbike near the southern Lebanese village of Khirbet Selm early Saturday, wounding two people, the state news agency reported. The agency reported new drone attacks on villages near the southern city of Nabatiyeh on Saturday afternoon. The agency reported that Israeli forces bombed a house in the coastal village of Adlaun on Friday evening, killing one woman and wounding several others.
Late Saturday night, Israeli warplanes struck a neighborhood west of the northeastern town of Baalbek, slightly wounding two people and causing property damage, officials said.
Such attacks deep inside Lebanon and far from the Israeli border were rare since the latest wave of fighting began nearly eight months ago. The attack took place on Saturday evening, about 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the Israeli border.
A day after war broke out between Israel and Hamas on October 7, Hezbollah launched attacks on Israeli military positions along the Lebanese-Israeli border. Tens of thousands of people have been displaced on both sides of the border since then.
