“Hezbollah did not shoot down any drone,” Afif said.
The Lebanese Army meanwhile confirmed that the drones were “Israeli”.
“Two drones belonging to the “Israeli” enemy violated Lebanese airspace [at dawn]… over the southern suburbs of Beirut. The first fell while the second exploded in the air causing material damage,” an army statement said.
The army said it had sealed off the area and that the military police had opened an investigation.
