The Israeli army said it intercepted a “hostile aircraft” that crossed into Israeli territory from Lebanon on Wednesday, the first such infiltration reported by the military in more than 24 hours.

“Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago regarding a hostile aircraft infiltration in the areas of Manara and Kiryat Shmona, a suspicious aerial target that crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory was intercepted,” the military said.

Israeli officials have warned the military will strike Beirut’s southern suburbs if Hezbollah launches projectiles targeting Israeli communities in the north, a stance they say has backing from Washington.
