A northern resident and social activist, Nissan Zevy, claimed on social media that a new type of Hezbollah drone infiltrated Israel, reached Haifa, photographed strategic sites, and returned to Lebanon over the sea without interception or alarms. Zevy, who is ranked 15th on the "Beiteinu" list of Bennett and Lapid, stated that the Netanyahu government is concealing the incident, prioritizing political interests over national security. He drew parallels to the alleged concealment of a Hezbollah tent incident in the Mount Dov area in March 2023, which followed a prior incident near Megiddo. Zevy expressed frustration over the lack of information, noting the deployment of civilian emergency response teams and military forces in the North while the public remains unaware of the reason. He questioned Prime Minister Netanyahu's promise to respond to any Lebanese threat with an attack on Beirut.
However, an investigation by Makor Rishon with the IDF and security officials found no indication to corroborate Zevy's claims regarding the drone and its alleged actions. The IDF stated that they are still investigating an object documented crossing the northern border near the town of Arab al-Aramshe, but have no confirmation of its nature or origin.
