Lebanese troops fire at Israeli drone in south Lebanon

The Lebanese army opened fire at an Israeli drone in south Lebanon on Wednesday, two Lebanese security sources and local media said.

A security source told Reuters that troops fired shots from M16 assault rifles. Lebanon's President Michel Aoun had said on Monday his country had a right to defend itself after two Israeli drones crashed in Beirut suburbs on Sunday.

The Israeli military spokeswoman said "we are checking the report".
