An Israeli drone crashed inside Lebanon during operational activity along the border, an Israeli military spokeswoman said Sunday.

"There is no concern that any information was leaked," the spokeswoman said.

Israel's Channel 12 reported that the drone crashed after it experienced a technical failure.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that the Lebanese state was responsible for any attack on Israel from within its territory.

Israel would “not allow Iran to establish a military base” on its northern border, he said in reference to Hezbollah’s presence in southern Lebanon.

His warning came amid an increase in Israeli flights over Lebanon.

The Lebanese army said it recorded a total of 29 violations of Lebanese airspace in the last 48 hours.

Tension rose this week along the Israel-Syria frontier after a Hezbollah member was killed in an apparent Israeli strike on the edge of Damascus on Monday.

The Israeli military said it has since boosted its forces on its northern front, where Israel borders Lebanon and Syria.

Hezbollah party has reportedly chosen a location for the burial of its late Secretary-General, Hassan Nasrallah, sources told Asharq Al-Awsat on Wednesday.
Nasrallah - killed in an Israeli strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs on September 27- will be buried in a “plot of land located on the old road leading to the Rafik Hariri International Airport, with plans to turn it into a shrine”, said the sources who spoke on condition of anonymity.
“Preparations are underway for the funeral of Nasrallah and the party's Executive Council Chairman, Hashem Safieddine, in a joint public ceremony,” they added, noting that Safieddine will be buried in his hometown of Deir Qanoun in the Tyre district as per his wishes.
Nasrallah led Hezbollah through decades of conflict with Israel, overseeing its transformation from an armed group into a political force that – backed by Iran – dominated Lebanese politics.
Separately, the sources addressed the issue of the exploding pagers, stating that "investigations are ongoing until those responsible for this breach are identified".
