Israel's caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid on Sunday warned that Israel would take any step necessary to defend itself, after it shot down three drones launched by Hezbollah a day earlier.

"Hezbollah continues its path of terrorism, undermining Lebanon's ability to reach an agreement on the maritime border. Israel will continue to protect itself, its citizens and its assets," Lapid said.

He noted that the drones "attempted to damage Israeli infrastructure in Israel's economic waters."
