Israel Air and Space Force Hermes 450 Shot down

Hezbollah shot down an Israeli Elbit Hermes 450 Zik over Tyre on 24 April 2026 using an anti-aircraft missile, and Israeli officials acknowledged the loss. Tyre, on the southern Lebanese coast, sat under near-continuous Israeli surveillance during the war. The engagement was one of a series in which Hezbollah demonstrated a growing ability to reach Israeli drones operating at medium altitude over the south.
