BEIRUT/JERUSALEM - Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri said two Israeli drones which crashed in a suburb of Beirut dominated by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah were designed to stir up regional tensions.
Hezbollah’s media officer Muhammad Afif told reporters in televised comments that the group’s “position in response to this aggression” would come in the speech of the group’s leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah later on Sunday. He did not disclose what measures Israel took that day. He described the “killer drones” - designed to slam into targets - as highly accurate. Conricus said the drones, accompanied by “Iranian operatives”, had arrived at Damascus airport from Iran several weeks ago and were taken to a Quds-controlled compound in a village southeast of the city.
Lebanon has complained to the United Nations about Israeli planes regularly violating its airspace in recent years. Iran and Hezbollah are helping President Bashar al-Assad in the eight-year-old Syria war. Russia, which also aids Assad, has largely turned a blind eye to the Israeli air strikes.
