“Three enemy drones approaching Israeli airspace have been defused,” the military said, adding that the drones were on their way to the Karish gas field.
The gas field is controversial. Shortly after the Israeli statement, Hezbollah confirmed that three drones had been sent to the gas field.
According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz Hezbollah – which has close ties to Iran – states that the drone flight was carried out for the purpose of gathering intelligence material.
According to a source in the Israeli military, the drones did not carry weapons and did not pose a risk in that way.
