The terror gang Hizballah has apparently managed to fly an unmanned aerial vehicle over northern Israel: Hizbullah says it sent aerial drone over northern Israel.

Eli Paz, a resident of Shlomi near the Lebanese border, told Israel Radio that he saw the UAV. “It looked like a small remote controlled plane with a relatively small wingspan. I heard the plane’s engine. It flew at an altitude of about 80 meters over our house in a southern direction,” Paz said.

An initial review by those monitoring the skies came after Hizbullah claimed it had successfully dispatched a drone into Israel. According to the Hizbullah-run al-Manar TV station, the UAV succeeded in reaching Nahariya. It said the drone was called “Marsad 1” or ‘Ambush’. [Western nations name their weapons “Tomahawk” or “Predator”; Arab terror gangs name them “Ambush.” —ed.]

In a statement to the Associated Press, Hizbullah said a reconnaissance drone of the Islamic Resistance, the group’s military wing, carried out its first flights over “occupied northern Palestine, flying over several Zionist settlements, reaching the coastal settlement of Nahariya and returning safely to its base.”

“This qualitative and new achievement by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon comes as part of a natural response to the Zionist enemy’s repeated and permanent violations of Lebanese airspace,” the statement said.

Hizbullah also warned that it would continue to dispatch drones. “Starting today, we will send our planes as we please,” the group said.
