OCCUPIED JERUSALEM: The Israeli army shot down an unmanned aircraft it said had entered its airspace from Lebanon, the military said Friday, hours after a strike in Syria attributed to the Jewish state.

Israeli military “troops downed a drone that crossed from Lebanon into Israeli airspace,” the army said in a statement. “The drone was monitored by the IDF throughout the incident,” the statement added, using the acronym for the Israel Defence Forces.
