"The drone belonging to the Israeli army is of type Hermes 900," Hezbollah said in a statement.

The Israeli army's Arabic spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, said the drone had crashed in Lebanese territory after being hit by a surface-to-air missile.

The unmanned aerial vehicle, which is widely used by the occupying entity and its allies, is primarily deployed for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) purposes.

Known by its Hebrew name "Kochav," the aircraft is the second-largest reconnaissance drone in the Israeli air force and is priced at $6 million.

The Israeli regime has been waging sporadic attacks against the Lebanese soil since October 7, when it launched a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip that has so far claimed the lives of around 33,200 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

Hezbollah has been retaliating against the attacks, and also conducting daily operations against targets lying throughout the occupied territories in solidarity with the war-hit Gazans.

The movement has vowed to resolutely defend Lebanon in case of any other Israeli-imposed warfare.
