JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military says one of its drones has come under fire in Lebanese airspace.
In a statement, the army said an anti-aircraft missile was "launched over Lebanese territory" toward the drone, but the aircraft was not hit.
Lebanon's state-run National News Agency says a large explosion was heard near the southern town of Nabatiyeh and that Israeli spy aircraft were flying overhead at the time. The area is a stronghold of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
Israel and Hezbollah are bitter enemies that fought a monthlong war in 2006.
