BEIRUT - For the first time, the militant group
Hezbollah has violated Israeli airspace by sending an
unmanned spy plane into northern Israel.

In a statement Sunday, the militant Islamic group said
the move was in response to Israel's own repeated
violations of Lebanese airspace since it withdrew its
forces from the south of the country four years ago. 

Hezbollah says the drone flew as far as the northern
Israeli coastal city of Nahariya. 

It wasn't clear whether the spy plane was homemade or
had been bought from a foreign supplier. 

Israel says it was made in Iran and confirmed that it
had flown over western Galilee. 

The Israeli army says the flight proves that Lebanon
does not have control over its own territory. 

Hezbollah says it will stage more drone flights over
Israeli territory in the future.
