Iran Ally Shoots Down NATO Military Drone Over Arab Airspace; Rare Escalation Amid Israel-Hamas War

Hezbollah claims to have destroyed nearly 100 Israeli Merkava tanks in a series of coordinated missile and drone strikes across southern Lebanon and northern areas. The group reported dozens of successful hits over 48 hours, calling it a “Merkava massacre.” Attacks targeted multiple locations including Debel, Al Qantara and Taybeh using guided missiles and drones. Analysts highlight the cost disparity between low-cost missiles and high-value tanks. The escalation follows months of tension and marks a significant intensification of the ongoing conflict between Hezbollah and Israeli forces.#Hezbollah #Israel #Merkava #MiddleEastWar #BreakingNews #DroneStrike #MissileAttack #Lebanon #WarUpdate #Conflict
