The Lebanese movement of Hizbullah said Monday it flew a spy drone over northern Israel, and the drone returned safely.
The flight was confirmed by the Lebanese government and later also by the Israeli Army.
Hizbullah said in a statement over its Al-Manar Television channel that "a Mirsad drone of the Islamic Resistance flew over settlements in the northern part of occupied Palestine and later returned safely.''
In November 2004, an unmanned Hizbullah spy plane infiltrated for the first time into Jewish state over western Galilee.
