BEIRUT (AP) — An Israeli drone crashed into the headquarters of the U.N. peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon but didn’t cause any casualties, the force said in a statement Wednesday.
The force, known as UNIFIL, said that by flying drones over Lebanon Israel was violating a U.N. Security Council resolution that helped end the 14-month Israel-Hezbollah war. Resolution 1701, which was first approved in 2006 to end a previous round of fighting, calls for both sides to respect the other’s airspace.
UNIFIL said that its explosive ordnance disposal experts secured and neutralized the drone immediately after it hit the headquarters in the Lebanese border town of Naqoura on Tuesday afternoon. UNIFIL added that the drone was not armed but was equipped with a camera.
There was no immediate comm
