Israeli media reports said the Zionist entity has shot down one of its drones over the Egyptian border due to a technical failure

Israeli media reports said the Zionist entity has shot down one of its drones over the Egyptian border due to a technical failure.

Hermes 450 drone, which is one of Israel’s primary means of espionage and collection of aerial images, was shot down over the border area on Sunday night due to engine malfunction, according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

The report added that the flight operators noticed the breakdown and decided to perform a controlled crash on the Israeli side of the border.

The daily also said that Israeli security forces combed the region and collected the remains of the aircraft.

The Israeli military is reportedly investigating the cause of the malfunction, which most likely originated from its engine.

A similar incident occurred in May, when the Israeli regime shot down one of its own Heron-class drones, known as “Shovel” over the Mediterranean Sea following an engine malfunction.

On July 7, an Israeli F-16 warplane crashed into the Mediterranean Sea following an engine malfunction.
