Israeli drone crashes in southern Lebanon



The Skylark drone experienced a malfunction during a routine patrol
along the Israeli-Lebanese border, according to the IDF. The incident is
being investigated.





The crash, which was initially reported in the Lebanese media, took place in the Marjayoun region.





Earlier
this month, Lebanese media reported that Israel remotely detonated a
spying device planted in south Lebanon, killing a member of Hezbollah
and wounding several others in the explosion.





Hezbollah’s
Al-Manar TV said on September 6 that Hassan Ali Haidar was killed after
army intelligence spotted a “strange device” in the village of Adloun,
near Tyre. An unmanned drone remotely detonated the device following its
discovery, according to the report, killing Haidar.





On
August 28, the Arabic-language Al-Mayadin TV channel reported that an
Israeli Hermes drone crashed in the vicinity of Baghdad Airport, in
Iraq. According to Al-Mayadin, the cause of the crash is unclear.
