Israeli military drone crashes in Lebanon
An unmanned Israeli military drone crashed into the mountains near Beirut on Friday, state-run Lebanese media reported. An Israeli warplane then pounded the area and destroyed the crashed drone, said the reports.
Meanwhile, Israel's best-selling Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported on its website that the Israeli army said the drone crashed "apparently as a result of malfunction" and was not shot down by enemy fire. An Israeli warplane destroyed the drone after it crashed to prevent it from falling into the hands of Hezbollah, the report added.
