“Above the skies in Lebanon, Israeli drones are often seen spying on people’s daily lives, especially in the south.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The provided evidence mentions Israeli drone strikes in southern Lebanon (Common Dreams) and the use of drones in Gaza, but it does not explicitly corroborate the specific claim that drones are 'often seen spying on people's daily lives' as a general pattern of surveillance. Only one source mentions drone activity specifically in southern Lebanon, but it refers to a lethal attack rather than general surveillance of daily life.
