An Israeli drone crashed on Monday in southern Lebanon, both Lebanese and Israeli media reported.
The National News agency said the Skylark drone crashed on the outskirts of Aita Shaab in the southern district of Bint Jbeil.
Israeli media first ignored the incident. However it then reported it, dismissing Israeli technical failure, with the Jerusalem Post saying: “according to the (Israeli) army no sensitive information was compromised and the circumstances behind the crash were being investigated.”
On the other hand, Hezbollah Military Media Center said the drone was subjected to a sudden technical failure causing its crash in the outskirts of Aita Shaab town in Lebanon’s southern border.
The Military Media Center said Lebanese residents seized the crashed drone, taking it to unknown destination.
The Skylark unmanned aerial vehicle has several weak points, according to Hezbollah’s Military Media Center. Due to its light weight, the drone is highly-affected by the wind. It also cannot fly for a long time and for high altitudes, making it easy to target it.
