STORYLINE:
The Israeli military said it shot down on Saturday three Hezbollah drones flying toward one of the country's offshore gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea.
One of the drones was downed by an Israeli fighter jet, while the other two by missiles fired from a navy corvette, according to a statement by the Israel Defense Forces.
The drones were intercepted "at a safe distance from the (gas) platform," said the statement.
The drones were downed over a sea area claimed by both Lebanon and Israel, as the two neighbors have been in UN-sponsored negotiation in the past two years to determine their maritime border.
