Hezbollah Shoot Down Another Israeli Drone. In Return Israel Air Force Targets Hezbollah.

The paramilitary wing of the Lebanese political party Hezbollah on April 21 used a surface to air missile to destroy an Israeli Hermes 450 drone over Southern Lebanon, marking the latest development in over six months of escalating hostilities between the two opposing forces. "Islamic resistance fighters shot down an enemy drone over the Al Aishiyeh area in southern Lebanon at 10:50 p.m. [19:50 GMT] on Sunday," a statement from Hezbollah claimed, with this later confirmed by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF). The IDF subsequently claimed that it had launched air strikes to neutralise the Hezbollah air defence sites responsible, and subsequently pledged that it would continue to operate aircraft in Lebanese airspace to safeguard Israeli interests. The shootdown of the Israeli aircraft follows prior successes by Hezbollah’s air defences on April 6, when another Israeli Hermes 450 and a Hermes 900 were shot down. The Hermes 450 has been evaluated highly positively in Western assessments, particularly compared to its European and American equivalents fulfilling comparable roles, while the larger Hermes 900, with an estimated cost of $30 million, is among the most high value unmanned aircraft in the Israeli inventory.
