Two drones crossed over from Lebanon after sirens sounded, Israeli military says
Recasts with Israeli military saying that two drones were detected crossing over from Lebanon and adds background
Oct 11 (Reuters) -Israel's military said two drones from Lebanon were detected late on Friday following sirens that sounded in central Israel, adding that no casualties had been reported.
The military successfully intercepted one drone as both "UAVs were monitored from the moment when they crossed the Lebanese border," the army added in a statement.
However, one building in Herzliya sustained some damage, the Israeli military and police said in separate statements.
There was no immediate comment from the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah on the drone attack.
The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah erupted one year ago when the Iranian-backed group began launching rockets at northern Israel in support of the Palestinian militant group Hamas, at the start of the Gaza war.
It has intensified in recent weeks, with Israel bombing southern Lebanon, Beirut's southern suburbs and the Bekaa Valley, killing many of Hezbollah's top leaders, and sending ground troops across the border. Hezbollah for its part has fired rockets deeper into Israel.
