An Israeli military drone crashed inside the headquarters of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon, in southern Lebanon’s Naqoura, yesterday, the observer force says, APA reports, citing The Times of Israel.
No injuries were caused in the incident. UNIFIL says sappers “neutralized the device,” which was determined to not be armed but equipped with just a camera.
The Israeli military confirmed to UNIFIL that the drone belonged to them.
UNIFIL says that “like all IDF drone and other flights over south Lebanon, this is a violation of resolution 1701 and Lebanese sovereignty,” adding that it “will formally protest this act.”
The IDF has remained deployed to five posts inside southern Lebanon since a November 2024 ceasefire that ended fighting between Israel and the Hezbollah terror group, one of which is located near the UNIFIL headquarters in Naqoura.
