Hezbollah has located an Israeli drone that crashed in Lebanese territory and has taken it to a secure location for inspection, a source in Hezbollah said on Tuesday.

“The aircraft that crashed on the border with occupied Palestine has been transported to a safe location for inspection,” a  Hezbollah statement said describing it as a spy drone.

The Israeli military said that the drone had come down in Lebanese territory on Monday near the border with Israel, identifying the drone as a “tactical Skylark UAV”, and said it was  looking into what caused the accident.

“The Lebanese Army rushed to the scene but couldn’t reach the site of crash due to the rough terrain,”   Hezbollah’s mouthpiece  Al Manar  reported on Tuesday.

The Skylark drone is a close-range tactical unmanned air vehicle (UAV) system principally designed for Israeli, Canadian and Korean forces to carry out intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance operations, according to Al Manar .

The IDF stated on Monday that the drone had crashed into Southern Lebanon and they were looking into what caused the accident.

Last  June, Hamas claimed that it had successfully dismantled and reassembled an Israeli drone that it said had been reappropriated for “operational” use by its military arm.

The group claimed that after the drone crashed in Palestinian territory, its operatives inspected the unmanned aircraft and were able to deconstruct its parts and rebuild it for its own use.

An Israeli drone also  crashed in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli  in July 2015

And in June 2015 Israel carried out an air strike in eastern Lebanon  to destroy one of its drones that had crashed in the mountains outside the village of Saghbine, which is in central Lebanon.

    The Israel army frequently sends drones over Lebanon

    Yes they do. IsraHell has followed Hariri Sr.’s movement and travel routes/patterns within Lebanon for years. On February 14th 2005, they killed him, along with many other Lebanese.
    _____

    He [Nasrallah] then showed extensive images taken by the Israeli drones for over a five-year period of Rafik Hariri’s land routes across Lebanon- to and from his offices and residences in Beirut, his summer home in the mountains, and the coastal route to his brother’s residence in Sidon.
    …
    Nasrallah finally disclosed that an Israeli reconnaissance plane and an Israeli AWACS were flying over Beirut on the day of the assassination for four hours from 10:30 am until 2:30 pm encompassing the 1 pm time of the assassination. He questioned whether it was a coincidence that an operational plane would be flying so close to the location at the time when the crime was committed.
    …
    many Israeli experts admitted that Hezbollah had been able to intercept Israeli drone images for many years

      You trying to convince yourself, because the evidence strongly supports the direct involvement of POG in the Hariri murder. You deny all other evidence so there is not point in your limited further discussion. And Hezbullah are perfect angels as far as you are concerned.
      Keep up with your delusion that Hezbullah are not international terrorists, drug dealers, and some kind of twisted religious mafia, all controlled by Iran.

        I am 100% convinced that Hezbollah had nothing to do with the killing of Hariri.

        Prime witnesses admitted to perjury: Several of the UNIIIC’s prime witnesses have admitted to perjury, accusing the US-Israeli backed Lebanese government of bribery and foul play. Witness Hussam Taher Hussam claimed Future Movement MP Saad Hariri (son of former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri) offered him $1.3m USD to incriminate top Syrian officials. Witness Ibrahim Michel Jarjoura said he was assaulted and forced to lie by Lebanese Telecommunications Minister Marwan Hamade. Star witness Zuhir Ibn Mohamed Said Saddik, who had accused Lebanese President Emile Lahoud and Syrian President Bashar Assad of ordering Hariri’s murder, bragged of earning millions by falsely testifying to the UN Commission.

        Shifting evidence: It is also not certain where the explosion that killed Hariri was detonated. French experts assessed it was underground because the blast had cracked the foundations of adjacent buildings, manhole covers on the street had blown off, and asphalt was propelled onto nearby rooftops. After it was found that an underground explosion would not implicate Syria- but rather the pro-US/Israeli Lebanese government who had supervised road work in the days before Hariri died- the focus shifted to an above-ground blast via suicide bomber.

        Bribed and biased prosecutors: According to Germany’s Junge Welt magazine, former UN investigator Detlev Mehlis received a $10m USD slush fund to rig the UNIIIC outcome against Syria. … In the Hariri case, German critics claimed “the choice of Mehlis was done because of his links to the German, American, French and Israeli intelligence agencies.” Lebanese news source libnen, and Le Figaro reported that the British MI6 and Mossad have been supplying much of the UN Commission’s intelligence. … When Mehlis resigned in disgrace, the UN hired Belgian prosecutor Serge Brammertz at Mehlis’ recommendation. But Brammertz could also be vulnerable to US pressure if he assembles a verdict not to America’s liking.

        Fabricated evidence: It took four years for the tribunal to admit that much of “the evidence” used against Syria was fabricated by false witnesses, some of them even tied to Israeli intelligence (Abdelbasit Bani Odeh) or the CIA and other Western intelligence agencies (Ahmad Mari‘e and Zuhair Siddiq).

        Facts are fact. You keep convincing yourself that Hezbollah, Iran and Syria did it.

    Oooooo.. technology.
    Israel must understand the risks of flight failure when flying over hostile territory. I wonder if Hezbullah will attempt to fly it back anytime soon?

      Don’t wonder.
      Hezbullah needs badly the Israeli technology of drones.

      They will not attempt to fly it back.
      Israel is of two most important manufacturers of military drones.
