Israel Doubts Iran Has Drone Data
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A senior officer in Israel's northern command on Monday dismissed an Iranian claim they were in possession of data transmitted by an unmanned Hizbullah drone that overflew Israel earlier this month.
"I don't think there was a camera," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity, although he admitted the incident was "still being investigated."
Israel's air force on October 6 shot down the unarmed drone over the Negev desert after it entered the country's airspace from the Mediterranean Sea.
At the time, the Israeli military dismissed the idea the drone could have been launched from Gaza, and said it was examining the possibility it may have been sent by the Lebanese party, Hizbullah.
Several days later, Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah said it was his movement which had sent the drone, saying the device was "Iranian built and assembled in Lebanon."
"It overflew sensitive and important installations for dozens of kilometers until the enemy spotted it near (the nuclear site) Dimona," he said, without identifying the installations.
In an interview broadcast on Sunday night, Esmaeel Kosari, who chairs the defence commission at the Iranian parliament, claimed the drone had "transmitted live data, photographing sensitive Israeli bases."
"The photos of restricted areas are in Iran's possession," he told Iran's Arabic-language Al-Alam television.
The Israeli officer said that to the best of his knowledge "there were no weapons on the drone."
Even without gathering intelligence, the drone's flight was "a show of ability," he said, proving that "it could fly over Israel for a long time, which could develop into filming abilities."
He also raised the possibility of future "suicide drones" which could carry explosives and be crashed into Israeli targets.

and who said iran is an ally and not an invador?
oh yes I forgot: traitors consider iran as their ally, same like the vichy government in France considered the Germans as allies.
go to iran illico to your masters as the likes of you are not welcome.

the usual mouthpieces of the traiotrs: FT and mowaten seem to be offended!
well let us see this properly: what is a traitor?
a traitor is a person who works with a faoregin power to do what is good for that power against the interest of his country. I hope we agree on that definition :)
OK, so what is hizbushaitan and their allies? they are here to executte the orders of iran for the latter's interests, i.e. reply to israel in case iran is attacked.
so what does this make you? traitors......
taking into account the Lebanese state never approved the actions of iran in Lebanon, unless you can show us something to the contrary :)

So under your OWN definition, what would Rafik Hariri and the entire so-called Al Mutaqbal camp be called when they were working and taking orders from Damascus for those last 30 years? I want an honest answer since you all seem to suffer from dimentia.

so who gave Iran the data? hizbocrap or the Lebanese government? does our government have the drone data? Is it the same information that Iran has? OH wait we cannot know for sure any of these answers because no one elected hizbocrap and they are not held responsible by any public! Great logic you sheep...

Mowaten, you condemn the fact that M14 are following a Saudi national supported by Saudi money. Then you should also condemn that M8 are supported by money and weapons of Syria and Iran tyrant regimes.
Maybe we should stop seeking the help and support from outside and start supporting each others in Lebanon.

Mooowaten you are not concerned about the answers to these questions? wala khalas if hasoon says it then it's true and you do not have to worry about it...fakker shwy please, hassoun is driving his party to the ground and you are all allowing him to take the shia sect with him...

Quoting Orangitta: Iran is our ally and long live democracy.
Well then democracy has a new definition: arrest all your opponents and call for elections.
Fighting Israel with blood of our children for this cause could be an exciting program for you. Others would like to find peaceful solutions.
You cannot impose this solution on everyone if you say long live democracy. The weapons of HA are exactly doing thing: imposing on all the Lebanese the solution they want.
Iran has nothing to do with Israel. The only thing they are after is the survival of their regime. Same thing with the Syrian regime. What has Assad's regime done to help the Palestinians gain back their land beside killing them in the camps.
Those tyrant regimes cannot survive in an environment where peace and economic prosperity predominate. Weak up to reality.

the credible plan to replace them is the lebanese army weakened by your hezbi friends.... let your hezbos hand their weapons to it and be under their control not under the control of a political leader!! that is what a state is for!!!
but as you do not respect the state and its institutions then lebanon will be a weak country as you wish for and as israel wishes too which makes you a perfect ally to them!
so spare us your BS and hypocrisy that the army cannot replace hezbis as it is exactly what you want.....

LOL mowaten... keep defending your hezbi friends good soldier you are...
why is it weird or bad or treacherous to ask for a political party to obey the state? to give their weapons to the army so they would strengthen it? to ask for the sole gvt to have the deicisons of peace and war like in any civilized country?
see you do not want a state that has the right OVER political parties and not the contrary.
this denial shows how much faith you place in an iranian financed party far more than in your own state!
you dare call yourself patriot? what a farce....

That's hilarious, frankly first off no real Lebanese cares what Iran say, they're just hilariously entertaining. Secondly according to FT, HA "works jointly" with the army? Well it's obvious which one, should have been more clearer. And please HA and M8, don't even think of pulling your M14 card like usual, petty tactic and it's like me saying "I see your M14 card and raise you batman with a battleaxe" Gotta work on that guys...and get a job.

That's even more hilarious! Since you can't use your trump M14 Card, you resort to that? Highschool bro, highschool tactics, very entertaining! :D

yes because M14 supports the idea of a sovereign STATE unlike you FT the traitor...
Where did you see a party acting against the state? ONLY the state has the right to decide what to do in terms of defending the country... but here as M8 are little cowards they said AFTER the launch of the drone that it was ok... proving once more that hezb acts without any state controol... and you are proud of that? hahaha!
aoun before chpoosing hezbos as his pimp always said that hezbollah was a terrorist entity... he was right, wasn t he? or just lying at the time?
but for M8 the state is nothing only iranian hezbollah has the right to do everything..
and you dare call yourself patriot? lol what a BIG farce and hypocrisy....

Mowaten farsi, you are really not that bright are you? nothing is worse than an idiot that thinks he's so smart...legal allies are between states not local militia and a foreign country...and thousands of patriotic hardworking Lebanese have dual citizenships...go live in Iran if you're so much in love with Hizballa and It's Iranian ayatollahs...

So true, I never understood these log arguing threads. By the way the filthy militia and Israel need each other and are both enemy of Lebanon
