Breaking: Syrian Army Downs Israeli Reconnaissance Drone in Al-Quneitra

The Syrian Arab Army’s 9th Infantry Division has downed an Israeli reconnaissance drone that was seen flying over the village of Hader in the Al-Quneitra Governorate. The Israeli reconnaissance drone was identified as a “Skylark1”, which is specifically used for over-the-hill missions and counter-terrorism operations.

This recent event in Al-Quneitra becomes the 2nd violation of Syria’s airspace in the month of December and the 2nd time an Israeli reconnaissance drone has been downed in the Levant over the last 2 months – the Lebanese Army downed a drone in October in southern Lebanon. The images obtained from the drone have not been released by the Syrian Military Intelligence; its intended purpose is still unknown.
