On 26 February 2024, an Israeli Air Force Hermes 450 Zik was shot down by militants of the Islamic Resistance/Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon. The Israeli military said on Monday that two missile launches had targeted a UAV operating over Lebanon. The first, it said, was intercepted by Israel's "David's Sling" defence system but the drone "fell inside Lebanese territory" after a second launch.
