Israeli Drone Reportedly Shot Down on Way to Syria
Or was it a Syrian anti-aircraft missile that went down?
Conflicting reports from Lebanon and Syria swirl around the announcement of the downing of an unmanned IDF aircraft. Wednesday, media in both countries reported an Israeli drone was shot down as it attempted to enter Syrian airspace and crashed in the area of Rashaya, in the Lebanon Valley.
But Thursday morning Lebanese military sources quoted the Hezbollah-affiliated newspaper Al-Akhbar which stated that witnesses who reported the incident were mistaken and the "crash" was the fall of an anti-aircraft missile, apparently from Syria.
