 Israel checking: Was drone headed to Dimona? Hezbollah officials would not comment on speculation that the group had launched the drone. Meanwhile, no organization has claimed responsibility for the launching of the drone. Lebanon's state news agency said Israeli warplanes have staged mock raids over villages in southern Lebanon, breaking the sound barrier. Many speculated that the aircraft was trying to gather intelligence on Israel's secretive nuclear reactor in the southern desert town of Dimona. However, the Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Mayadeen reported that the aircraft belongs to Hezbollah. Yonatan Gonen contributed to this report

– Israeli fighter planes flew low over Lebanese towns today in apparent retaliation for a mysterious drone that crossed Israel this weekend, the AP reports. The military didn't directly blame Hezbollah—a powerful Shiite group in Lebanon—for the drone, but Haaretz pointed a finger at them and an Israeli lawmaker put it bluntly: "It is an Iranian drone that was launched by Hezbollah," tweeted Miri Regev. "Hezbollah and Iran continue to try to collect information in every possible way in order to harm Israel." Meanwhile, a Lebanese, Hezbollah-affiliated TV channel reported that the aircraft was in fact launched in Lebanon, reports YNet News. Iranian news websites also took a crack at the story, reporting that the drone revealed a weakness in Israel's missile defense system, reports YNet News. One Iranian site, Javan Online, noted that the region where the drone was downed is key to Israel "for that is where it digs uranium, in the Arad and Sodom area"—an apparent dig over Israel's negative stance on Iran's nuclear facilities.
