Lebanese Hezbollah destroyed Israel's most expensive and most advanced spy balloon in a drone strike, bypassing the Zionist regime's complex layers of defense.

Al-Manar TV channel published footage of the UAV attack targeting the strategic spy balloons called Sky Dew at the Ilaniye base of the Lebanese Islamic Resistance in the north of occupied Palestine.

In this attack, Hezbollah managed to use the Mersad-1 unmanned aerial vehicle to penetrate the most complex layers of Israeli defense and attack the location of the Sky Dew surveillance balloon at a depth of 32 km in the occupied territory.

According to the information published by Hezbollah, this spy balloon, which is the largest and most expensive of its kind in the world, became the target of Hezbollah's unmanned aerial vehicles.

The "Sky Dew" spy balloon, a joint product of Tel Aviv and Washington, was 117 meters long and weighed several thousand tons, with an installation cost of approximately $1.2 billion, dozens of special cameras, small computers and large radar equipment.
