Israel says one of its fighter jets has shot down an unmanned aircraft sent from Lebanon into Israeli airspace.
A missile brought down the drone about five miles (8km) west of the northern Israeli port of Haifa around 14:00 (11:00 GMT), officials said.
Reports suggest the drone could have been sent by Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which fought a month-long war against Israel in 2006.
It is the second time in seven months Israel has downed a drone from Lebanon.
