This photograph shows a Hezbollah UAV intercepted by Israeli air forces over northern Israel on August 25, 2024.. The Israeli military announced early on August 25, 2024 that it was conducting pre-emptive strikes in Lebanon after detecting preparations for "large-scale" attacks by the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah. Hezbollah said it had launched more than 320 rockets at Israel overnight, targeting a string of military positions, even as Israel's military said it was carrying out pre-emptive strikes against the group.
