QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement, on Friday, that it had recently downed a drone that Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group flew over the border, which contained secret footages, apparently from the special forces of the Lebanese Hezbollah during a special exercise to operate drones.

“The IDF will continue to act to prevent violations of the State of Israel’s sovereignty,” the statement said.

The footages showed Hezbollah special forces while training on how to use drones, according to the statement.
