TEHRAN (Tasnim) – An Israeli military drone was shot down by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas while it was flying over the Gaza Strip.

According to reports carried by Palestinian media, the drone was downed by Hamas forces east of the city of Dir al-Balah.

The Israeli military, however, claimed that the unmanned aerial vehicle captured by Hamas is a “Skylark” that had “crashed” during an “operation” over the Gaza Strip.

It further claimed that the UAV crashed due to “technical error” and ruled out the possibility that potentially sensitive information would be leaked from the drone.
