Israel shoots down three Hezbollah drones
The Israeli military shot down three drones of the Lebanese-based terrorist group Hezbollah. These drones were moving towards the recently installed Israeli gas platform in the Mediterranean Sea. Hezbollah's move is believed to be an attempt to influence US-mediated talks between Israel and Lebanon to determine the maritime boundary.
The Israeli army said, these unmanned aircraft were soon traced. Israel installed a gas rig this month at the Karish gas field. It says the gas field falls within its internationally recognized economic waters, but Lebanon claims it is in disputed waters. Hezbollah issued a statement that it had sent three unarmed drones into the disputed sea area. He said, mission accomplished and message received.
