Hezbollah official: Israeli drone fell in south Beirut suburbs, second drone exploded
BEIRUT (Reuters) - An Israeli drone fell in the Hezbollah-dominated southern suburbs of Beirut and a second one exploded near the ground on Sunday, a Hezbollah official told Reuters, in the first such incident in more than a decade.
The Israeli military said it does not comment on foreign reports.
The second drone caused some damage when it crashed before dawn close to Hezbollahs media center in the Dahyeh suburbs of Lebanons capital Beirut, the Hezbollah official said. It came hours after the Israeli military said its aircraft struck Iranian forces and Shiite militias near Syrias capital Damascus.
Residents in Dahyeh said they had heard the sound of a blast. A witness said the army closed off the streets in one neighborhood where a fire had started. No other information was immediately available.
