’Israeli’ Drone Crashes in Gaza
Local Editor
An "Israeli" "Sky Rider" type unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) crashed Tuesday morning in southern Gaza.
According to "Israeli" sources, the drone felt due to a technical malfunction. The "Israeli" army is looking into the incident.
Sky Rider UAVs - the smallest UAVs in the "Israeli" army's arsenal - serve the "Israeli" Artillery Corps for collection of information that assists the ground forces.
A similar UAV, also belonging to the Artillery Corps, crashed in Gaza last October.
A month before that, a UAV that serves the Air Force crashed off the beach at Palmachim. The "Israeli" army's elite rescue unit, Unit 669, tried to salvage parts of the aircraft.
According to Maariv, the Sky Rider does not have a self-destruct mechanism. This means that if it falls into enemy hands, some technical know-how and intelligence information could be compromised.
