Tripoli, Lebanon (IINA) - An Israeli surveillance drone crashed into the sea near the port of the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli on Saturday, according to media reports.
It is the second time that an Israeli drone has come down in the country in recent weeks, according to Lebanese officials.
The army said the surveillance plane "belonging to the Israeli enemy" had crashed at 8:30 a.m. (0130 EDT).
From its side Israeli officials declined to comment on the incident.
Last month, a drone identified as Israeli by Lebanese officials crashed in the Bekaa Valley region of eastern Lebanon. Israel did not comment on that incident either.
A June report from the U.N. secretary general on implementation of a Security Council resolution that ended the 2006 war between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah said there were almost daily violations of Lebanese airspace by Israeli aircraft, including drones, according to Reuters.
