Lebanon's Hezbollah says it has shot down an Israeli unmanned aircraft outside the southern town of Ramyah as it was heading towards the town.
About:
Hezbollah is Lebanon’s most powerful Shia movement.
Hezbollah has three ministers in government and is represented in the Lebanese parliament. It has a strongly-armed wing, with its forces fighting in Syria in support of President Bashar al-Assad's troops.
Israel considers Hezbollah as the most potent military threat on its border. Hezbollah and Israel fought a month-long war in 2006. The border between the two countries, which remain technically in a state of war, has been mostly calm since.
Hezbollah has been designated by the U.S. and Israel as a terrorist organisation. In 2013, EU foreign ministers banned Hezbollah’s military wing but not its political work in Europe. As a result, sanctions can be imposed on its military leaders.
