The drones crashed in Beirut’s southern suburbs early on Sunday in an area that is home to many Hezbollah supporters.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said the aircraft had come from Israel and were carrying explosives. He described it as the first attack since the 2006 war between Israel and Lebanon.
“I say to the Israeli army on the border from tonight, stand guard. Wait for us one, two, three, four days,” he said in a speech on Sunday.
But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded: “I heard what Nasrallah said. I suggest to Nasrallah to calm down. He knows well that Israel knows how to defend itself and to pay back its enemies.”
