An Israeli UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) has crashed in the occupied West Bank over what the Tel Aviv regime claims to be a “technical malfunction.”
Palestinian media cited the Israeli military as saying that the incident took place near the city of Qalqilya early on Sunday when the drone was conducting reconnaissance flights over the area for a future campaign of arrests by the occupying regime.
The Israeli military also announced that the crash was “under investigation.”
The Tel Aviv regime had earlier said it would use drones in the occupied West Bank for the first time when carrying out the arrests.
Last month, an Israeli Skylark drone was shot down by Palestinians in the north of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus.
The military drone, which was overflying clashes between Palestinians and Israeli regime forces, was claimed by Tel Aviv to have crashed due to a technical fault.
