Lebanese defiant after drone strikes, Israelis near border unfazed

BEIRUT/JERUSALEM, Aug 26 (Reuters) – Lebanese farmers and residents of Beirut suburbs hit by drones at the weekend vowed on Monday to stand their ground in the event of any Israeli attack, amid heightened tensions between the Iran-backed Hezbollah movement and Israel. Two drones crashed on Sunday in Beirut’s southern suburbs, which are dominated by the heavily armed Hezbollah, prompting the group to warn Israeli soldiers at the border to await a response. President Michel Aoun on Monday likened the drone strikes to “a declaration of war”.
