Two unmanned aerial vehicles flown by the Israeli military have crashed in Lebanon, Prime Minister Saad Hariri has confirmed. This comes on the heels of reports that IDF ‘suicide drones’ targeted Hezbollah’s compounds in Beirut.



Israeli drone flights were “an open attack on Lebanese sovereignty” and an assault on UN Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 Israel-Lebanon war, Prime Minister Hariri said on Sunday, just hours after an Israeli UAV reportedly crashed in the capital and another exploded prematurely near Hezbollah's media center.


Hariri called the raids a "threat to regional stability and an attempt to increase tensions."
