IDF videos of interception of Hezbollah unmanned aerial vehicle

From Israel Defense Forces Website:
---------------
The Israel Air Force yesterday evening shot down an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) launched from Lebanon. IAF's northern air control unit identified the craft before it crossed the border and dispatched aircraft to intercept it. The UAV was shot down at a low altitude over the Mediterranean Sea, and Israeli naval vessels collected its pieces.

This is the third attempt in the last two years to infiltrate an unmanned aerial vehicle into Israeli airspace from Lebanon. Israel views very gravely any attempt to infiltrate her sovereign territory - whether from the air, the sea, or on land - and will act in all ways necessary to defend her citizens.
