Israel 'shoots down Lebanon unmanned aircraft'

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.

Last October also, the Israeli air force shot down an unmanned aircraft over the south of the country.
