    DUBAI, June 3 (Reuters) - The Israeli military said it intercepted a "hostile aircraft" that crossed into northern Israel from Lebanon on Wednesday.

    It did not link the drone to Hezbollah, and the Iran-backed group has not claimed responsibility for the incident.

    Lebanon had announced a partial ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel that would see Israel halt strikes on Beirut's Hezbollah-controlled suburbs and Hezbollah stop attacks on Israel, though the agreement does not end the conflict, according to Lebanon's embassy in Washington.
