The Skylark, the IDF’s smallest drone model, is operated by the Artillery Corps and is intended for tactical missions such as patrol and intelligence gathering. This is the fifth in a series of such drone crashes since the start of 2017 in Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank.

In March, 2017, a Skylark drone crashed in northern Gaza during routine operational activities. A few days later, it was announced that the crash was due to human error and no classified information was compromised.

 

Two months later, a similar drone crashed in southern Lebanon, near the Israeli border.
