Israeli drones bombed a Palestinian base in eastern
Lebanon near the border with
Syria early Monday, the Lebanese state-run National News Agency and a Palestinian official said, further raising tensions in the Middle East.
The strike came a day after an alleged
Israeli drone crashed in a stronghold of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah in southern Beirut while another exploded and crashed nearby.
Hezbollah said its explosive experts found that one drone was laden with highly explosive materials, suggesting the aerial vehicles were designed to carry out attacks.
