UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon shoots down Israeli drone

The UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, Unifil, shot down an Israeli drone near the border town of Kfar Kila, citing the drone's "aggressive manner." The Israeli military claimed the drone was conducting routine intelligence-gathering, with no threat to Unifil forces, though an inquiry is ongoing. This incident underscores ongoing tensions between Israel and Lebanon, with Israel continuing to conduct airstrikes and drone activity over Lebanese territory despite a ceasefire in place since November. Unifil's action in downing the drone is a rare move and highlights the delicate situation in the region.
