BEIRUT (AA) – An Israeli drone crashed in southern Lebanon on Saturday, according to Lebanon’s official National News Agency.

The unmanned spy plane fell down between the villages of Beit Yahoun and Baraachit, the agency said.

Local media aired images of the crashed aircraft with Hebrew writing visible.

There was no comment from the Israeli military about the crash.

Lebanese authorities have lodged several complaints with the UN about repeated Israeli violations of its airspace.

On Friday, the Lebanese army said two Israeli planes had violated its airspace.
