Israel attacked southern Lebanon again, according to information released today. The Israeli army stated it shot down one of two drones that it accuses the Shiite group Hezbollah of having launched against Israeli soldiers.
According to the Israeli authorities, the drones were directed against Israeli soldiers "in the security zone of that country," referring to the area in southern Lebanon where Israel maintains military operations.
Hezbollah, a Lebanese Shiite armed group based in Lebanon, is pointed out by Israel as responsible for sending the unmanned aircraft. This incident represents another escalation in tensions between the two neighboring countries.
The security zone mentioned refers to the area in southern Lebanon where Israeli military operations are taking place, in a region that has frequently been the scene of confrontations between Israeli forces and Hezbollah elements over the past few months.
