The Israeli military’s Arabic spokesman shared a video today purportedly showing Hezbollah members trying and failing to launch a drone into Israel. 

In the video, two men are seen using a remote to fly a small, white, unmanned aerial vehicle. After the drone flies a few meters off the ground, it quickly crashes near the men. They then hold and examine the drone before the video ends.
