Israeli soldiers on Tuesday downed a drone belonging to Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror organization after it entered Israeli airspace, the military said.

Soldiers also located a second drone that was downed on the Israel-Lebanon border several months ago, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

The IDF said the UAV that was shot down Monday was identified by troops after it entered Israeli skies, before it was targeted.
