Israel Shoots Down Drone from Lebanon

JERUSALEM — Israeli aircraft on Thursday shot down a drone from Lebanon, the Israeli military said.

"Three hours ago, an unmanned aerial vehicle was detected by
 air defense as it was in Lebanese skies and hit when [it] attempted to violate Israeli airspace,'' a military spokeswoman said.

Israel Radio said the drone was hit by a missile some five miles (8 km) west of the northern Israeli port of Haifa.
