DUBAI, June 3 (Reuters) – The Israeli military said it ​intercepted a “hostile ‌aircraft” that crossed into northern Israel from Lebanon on ‌Wednesday.

It ​did not ⁠link the ⁠drone to Hezbollah, and the Iran-backed group has not ​claimed responsibility for the incident.

Lebanon ⁠had ⁠announced a partial ​ceasefire between Hezbollah ​and Israel that would ‌see Israel halt strikes on Beirut’s Hezbollah-controlled ⁠suburbs and Hezbollah stop attacks on Israel, though ⁠the ‌agreement does ⁠not end ​the ‌conflict, according to ​Lebanon’s embassy ⁠in Washington.
