IDF confirmed the event now. https://t.co/jxlek8YaTu
You just have to appreciate how the IDF says it fell during "routine" activity, because violating another country's airspace is a routine to them.
The Palestinian civil defense was also on the scene. https://t.co/xPWqmkAOOg
The main fire is extinguished, but where it spread to is still on fire.

The whole free duty area is damaged. Lots of goods are lost.
Just let's hope CENTCOM chief doesn't call the Lebanese army chief of staff tonight and scold him for using US-made weapons against Israel.
*Fingers crossed and all the love to the Lebanese army.*

About the drone:
- There is no loss of value for Israel.
- Bigger drones are a risk of information leakage because if recovered intact, not only could it be reverse-engineered, but the specs would help in knowing how to defeat them.
- Small drones are commercially available. There is no loss. Only 1000$ or so.

In 2015 when a Hermes drone fell, they destroyed it with a missile to protect it. USA does the same with its drones.

Of course, IDF are hiding the embarrassment by saying it fell and not shot down.
