Hezbollah takes responsibility for this morning's drone attack on northern Israel, claiming to have targeted an Israeli artillery site on the border. In a statement, Hezbollah says it struck a self-propelled howitzer with an explosive-laden drone. The IDF confirmed a Hezbollah drone struck near the northern town of Shomera, and said it was investigating the incident. The terror group also says it shot down an Israeli Hermes 450 drone over southern Lebanon today, after the IDF confirmed one of its unmanned aerial vehicles was downed by a Hezbollah surface-to-air missile.
