Truth and understanding
The Media Line's intrepid correspondents are in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Pakistan providing first-person reporting.
They all said they cover it.
We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
The Iran-backed Lebanese armed group Hizbullah claimed responsibility for the incident. A statement broadcast on Hizbullah’s Al-Manar TV claimed the drone had violated Lebanese airspace near the southern town of Zibqin.
This is not the first incident of its kind, as both Israel and Hizbullah have previously claimed to have shot down each other’s drones. In May, the Israeli military reported intercepting a drone entering Israeli airspace from Lebanon but did not attribute the aircraft to any specific group.
