[QUOTE="Adam_Butler, post: 1467, member: 18"] ISRAEL - The Iranian Sponsored, Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah stated that it had flown 3 drones, which were unarmed, towards a natural gas rig operated by Israel in the Mediterranean, and the Israeli military intercepted them. Israel says that they shot the three drones down and that one was shot down with an F-16 jet and the other two were downed by the naval Barak 8 medium-range surface-to-air missile system on the INS Eilat. Hezbollah has stated that the drones were on a recon mission, and the mission had been successful. There has not been any immediate response from the official Lebanese government. The Israeli military carried out an investigation that stated that the drones were unarmed and that they did not pose any real threat which seems to confirm reports by the Hezbollah that they were on a recon mission. Gantz also warned that Israel is prepared to defend its infrastructure against any threat, saying that "The State of Israel will continue to defend its assets. We are obligated and will preserve our right to operate and respond to any threat". The waters that the gas rig is in are in dispute between Lebanon and Israel, known as the Karish gas field. From Wikipedia: There has been an ongoing dispute since a lawsuit was filed in 2019 by Tsabar Gas and Oil against a company called Energean, claiming that Energean had denied Tsabar Gas its share in its role of aiding Energean in the acquisition of the Karish gas field. This marks the first time that the Israeli naval Barak 8 medium-range surface-to-air missile system has been used against threats from the air.
