DUBAI, June ‌3 (Reuters) - ​The ​Israeli military said it ‌intercepted a "hostile aircraft" that ⁠crossed into northern Israel ‌from Lebanon on ‌Wednesday.

It did not link the drone ​to Hezbollah, and the Iran-backed group ⁠has not claimed responsibility for ​the incident.

Lebanon had announced a partial ceasefire ​between Hezbollah ‌and Israel that would see ⁠Israel halt strikes on Beirut's Hezbollah-controlled ⁠suburbs and Hezbollah stop attacks ​on Israel, though the agreement does not end ‌the conflict, according to Lebanon's embassy ‌in Washington.
