UNIFIL Shoots Down IDF Surveillance Drone over Southern Lebanon
(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - An Israeli military drone was shot down by the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) during a routine surveillance mission on Sunday. The IDF said Monday that the drone had posed no threat to the UNIFIL observers who opened fire on it. Israel has long argued that the observer force has failed in its mission, doing little to block Hizbullah from building up its forces near the Israeli border over decades. In August, the UN Security Council voted to end UNIFIL's mission in 2027.
