Alwaght- A spy drone operated by the Israeli regime forces crashed in southern Lebanon overnight between Friday and Saturday, Hezbollah’s al-Manar TV reported.
“An unmanned Israeli spy plane crashes between the villages of Beit Yahoun and Baraachit,” al-Manar reported.
A statement from the Israeli regime’s military said the espionage drone had crashed because of a technical malfunction. “The incident is currently being reviewed. There is no risk of leaked information,” the statement said.
Meanwhile, a security source said the Lebanese Army Engineering Corps had found four rockets inside the wreckage of the Israeli spy drone and would proceed to detonate them.
The usurper Israeli regime has been violating Lebanese airspace on an almost daily basis, carrying out what it calls “routine reconnaissance missions.”
This latest incident comes after Lebanese government forces uncovered and dismantled an Israeli regime spying device in the country’s southern province of Nabatieh early January.
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported that the device was discovered on the outskirts of Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh (Western Zawtar) town, which lies just north of the Litani River.
October last year, Lebanese security forces arrested three people on charges of collecting sensitive information and passing it on to the Tel Aviv regime.
Over the recent past, there have been rising tensions over Israeli threats of a new war against Lebanon. The regime launched two wars on Lebanon in 2000 and 2006, in both of which the Hezbollah resistance movement inflicted heavy losses on the regime’s military.
