Israeli surveillance drone crashes inside UN base in Lebanon
The UN’s peacekeeping force in Lebanon says an Israeli drone crashed inside its headquarters in the southern part of the country but no one was hurt and the device was neutralised.
“It was determined that the drone was not armed but was equipped with a camera,” UNIFIL spokesperson Kandice Ardiel said, adding the Israeli military later confirmed the drone belonged to the army.
She said the peacekeepers are capable of defending themselves, but the drone fell on its own.
“Like all [Israeli military] drones and other flights over south Lebanon, this is a violation of [UN Security Council] resolution 1701 and Lebanese sovereignty,” Ardiel said.
