“Following an initial examination, it was determined that the UAV that crossed from Lebanon into the Western Galilee area at 7:09 fell in an open area in the region of Nahariya. Fallen shrapnel was identified in the area,” the IDF said.

IDF chief – Hezbollah terror sites can`t return:
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi delivered a video message from an underground Hezbollah base in Southern Lebanon, emphasizing that this sort of terrorist infrastructure can not be allowed to return.
“We have been saying for years that Hezbollah is preparing the area of the border for war. To the countries that doubted it, to the United Nations, to the UNIFIL [United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon] force that was [stationed] up here “We caught this in time, before it was too late, and this infrastructure must not return here in future generations,” said Halevi. The bunker complex was destroyed shortly afterwards.
Speaking to soldiers in one of the tunnels, Halevi stressed that “our task over the years to come will be to make sure that no new [infrastructure] is built.” The IDF`s work in Lebanon now means that in future years “you will walk around here, drive around with your grandchildren in the Hula Valley and you will know that you freed the Ramim Ridge from a great threat, a substantial threat,” he said.
