Hezbollah has released dramatic drone footage allegedly showing a direct strike on an Israeli Merkava tank turret in southern Lebanon, adding fresh intensity to the rapidly escalating tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border. The video, which remains unverified, captures an overhead explosion claimed to have targeted Israeli armour during ongoing cross-border confrontations. The footage surfaced as reports emerged of smoke plumes visible across Galilee border regions, sparking heightened alert levels and renewed fears of wider regional escalation. Local sources in southern Lebanon reported heavy military activity near Shamaa, while Israeli media outlets including Channel 12 cited growing concerns over Hezbollah’s expanding drone capabilities.
