Israel launches strikes on Lebanon after Hezbollah downs Hermes-900 drone

Israel said it launched air strikes on eastern Lebanon and hit Hezbollah infrastructure on Sunday after the militia took down an Israeli drone.

In a statement, the Israeli army said that fighter jets struck a military complex and three other sites belonging to Hezbollah in the eastern city of Baalbek.

The strikes came after Hezbollah downed an Israeli-made Hermes-900 drone. Hezbollah said it fired dozens of Katyusha rockets that hit an air defence base in the occupied Golan Heights, in response to Israeli raids on eastern Lebanon.
