The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Israel claims it shot down Hezbollah drones headed for gas rig” – below is their description.
Israel said that it had shot down three drones headed from Lebanon toward one of its Mediterranean gas rigs on Saturday and accused the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group of launching them.
There was no immediate response from Lebanon to the Israeli allegation, which came amid tensions between the countries over the location of the Karish rig and long-standing but so-far fruitless US-mediated efforts to agree on a maritime border.
The Israeli military said its forces had intercepted “three hostile UAVs which approached the airspace over Israel’s economic waters”.
An Israeli security source said the drones had been unarmed, although this was not immediately confirmed by the military.
