A military Skylark drone crashed Sunday during an operation over Nablus, the IDF said Monday, adding the drone was recovered by troops operating in the sector. Skylark is a tactical surveillance drone developed by Elbit Systems and operated by the Artillery Corps. Sunday's incident was the second Skylark crash in the span of a week: Last Monday, Lebanese media reported a Skylark drone had crashed in southern Lebanon, northwest of the border with Israel. The Lebanon-based terrorist group Hezbollah claimed that it had recovered the drone's wreckage. Hezbollah's Al-Manar TV reported that Hezbollah operatives transported the drone "to a secure location for inspection." The IDF has not commented on Hezbollah's claim, saying only that the military was investigating the circumstances of both crashes.
