Israeli Drone Crashes in South
An Israeli surveillance drone crashed in southern Lebanon on Saturday, reported various media outlets.
They said that the MK surveillance drone crashed in the town of Sarda in the Marjeyoun district.
Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) later said that a malfunction caused the crash, adding that the army has since cordoned off the crash site.
Israel frequently flies drones over Lebanese territories in what Lebanese authorities say are violations of the country's sovereignty and United Nations Security Council resolution 1701.
In February, an MK surveillance drone crashed near the U.N.-drawn Blue Line close to the southern town of Mays al-Jabal.
Israeli troops at the time crossed the border into Lebanon in order to retrieve parts of the drone.
The causes of its crash were also not disclosed.
