While the Zionist military confirmed the loss of the aircraft, it claimed that it had fallen from the sky rather than being destroyed on the ground.

The military said they were investigating the incident and alleged that it had been caused by a ‘technical malfunction.'

Following are some of the characteristics the Skylark is known to feature:

- One of the most advanced spy vehicles of the ‘Israeli' army

- The estimated cost of each drone is about 50,000 dollars

- With respect to its intelligence mission, Skylark doesn't emit sounds, its engine is silent and is barley heard from 10-meters distance

- It is used by ‘Israeli' ground troops for intelligence missions and data collection since it has massive capability of scanning and identifying targets accurately, flying at night without grabbing the attention of the observed zone because it is equipped with electrical visual cameras, as well as laser and infrared cameras

- International technology offers it the chance to follow up stable and mobile targets with high definition, making it qualitative and reliable for ground forces

- Upon finishing its mission, Skylark returns to its position but this time using a rubber pillow-like shape to protect its load upon landing

- The ‘Israeli' army used Skylark 1 in its war on Lebanon in 2006 to collect intelligence information for the ground forces, yet the Islamic Resistance downed many of its kind and still have them

- The occupation army had uncovered in the year 2006 an advanced version of the drone, known as ‘Skylark 2', which is capable of flying for some 60 kilometers in a time period of 4 hours

- The Islamic Resistance has downed, controlled or obtained similar drones since 2012, namely in al-Quneitra, until 2016
