Hezbollah downs another Israeli drone

Hezbollah has released video footage showing its forces downing an Israeli Air Force Hermes-450 unmanned combat aerial vehicle over Lebanese airspace on April 1, 2026. The group used a surface-to-air missile to intercept the drone, marking another successful anti-air operation in the ongoing conflict. Hezbollah claims this is the fourth or fifth such drone it has downed while accusing the Israeli military of concealing these losses. The release comes amid escalating cross-border exchanges between Hezbollah and Israel.
