Sunday Times: Ayoub Drone Scanned Secret "Israeli" Bases, Possibly Dimona

Local Editor

Not only did the Hizbullah Ayoub drone infiltrate the "Israeli" space depth, but rather beamed back live images of secret "Israeli" military bases.

According to the Sunday Times report, the drone was airborne for three hours before being intercepted by an F-16I jet.

"It is believed to have transmitted pictures of preparations for "Israel's" biggest joint military exercise with the US army, which began last week, as well as ballistic missile sites, main airfields and, possibly, its nuclear reactor in Dimona," the report added.

It also stated that "the interception of the drone was "botched" when the first missile fired by the "Israeli" jet missed."
"The aircraft had traveled 200 miles," the British daily learned.
In parallel, the daily claimed that the drone is believed to have been the new Shahed-129, which was unveiled by Tehran last month with a range of 1200 miles and flight duration of 24 hours.

Meanwhile, the report cited an "Israeli" military source saying, "How could we defend "Israel" from thousands of rockets and missiles if we can't block a single Iranian drone?"
Intelligence experts contend that the interloper should have been intercepted from the Mediterranean as it entered the skies of the Gaza Strip, before it was shot down over the Yatir Forest south of the city of al-Khalil.
