The Syrian military has shot down an Israeli reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) over the southern Syrian province of Quneitra, according to pro-government sources. According to the released photos, the downed UAV is an Israeli-made Skylark miniature UAV.
The UAV was shot down amid ongoing clashes between the Syrian Army and militants northeast of the city of Daraa in the same region. The Israeli military has likely expanded its reconnaissance operations in the area checking the scale of the Syrian Army’s expected advance in southern Syria.
