(MENAFN- QNA) An Israeli drone crashed in the southern region of Marjayoun Saturday near the border with Israel, a security source told The Daily Star.
The plane fell in the Saradah Valley, which is about 15 kilometers from the Blue Line, at a farm belonging to Mohammad al-Jalil Seet, the source said.
The Israeli army confirmed the incident, saying the plane had a technical malfunction while on a regular security mission causing it to crash along the border with Lebanon, Haaretz reported.
The report said that Israeli authorities were investigating the crash.
The Lebanese Army transported parts of the plane to a military headquarters in Marjayoun with help of UNIFIL personnel. Soldiers were seen gathering parts of the plane, which remained relatively intact following the crash.
Israeli reconnaissance planes fly over Lebanon on a regular basis, violating the country’s airspace in contravention to U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701.
