Hezbollah's military media has published video footage showing a kamikaze drone operation targeting an Israeli Merkava tank in the town of Taybeh in southern Lebanon. The group stated the strike successfully hit the tank, though Israeli military confirmation remains pending. This attack adds to a series of cross-border strikes that have continued despite a fragile U.S.-brokered 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. The footage shows the drone approaching and striking the tank in what appears to be a precision attack.
