Hezbollah UAS Took Pictures of Joint Israel-US Military Exercise

The unmanned aircraft, launched by Iran-backed Hezbollah militants in Lebanon on Oct. 6, is now believed to have transmitted pictures of preparations for a joint Israel-US military exercise, ballistic missile sites, and possibly Israel’s top-secret nuclear reactor near Dimona.

The three-hour flight was initially downplayed by Israeli officials red-faced over the shocking breach of their airspace.
Even the ultimate interception by an F-16 jet was botched — it took two tries for the pilot to down the unmanned plane.
