Israel Shoots Down Hezbollah Drones Near Israeli Field

摘要

Escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanese Shiite Hezbollah saw Israeli forces shoot down three Hezbollah drones on Jul. 2 that had penetrated airspace over what Israel claims as its exclusive maritime economic zone, close to the Karish gas field. The incursion comes amid a negotiation over overlapping maritime border claims between Israel and Lebanon, currently under mediation by US Energy Envoy Amos Hochstein.
