Israel military intercepts drone that came from Lebanon
2022-07-19
[AlArabiya] Israel's military said on Monday it had intercepted a small drone that crossed into the country from Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
, adding that it had likely been sent by the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah.

The drone had been tracked by Israel throughout its flight, the military said.

"The Israel Defense Forces will continue to operate in order to prevent any attempt to violate Israeli illusory sovereignty," it said.

Hezbollah has occasionally sent drones into Israeli airspace before, calling them reconnaissance missions.
