An Israeli military drone crashed in the northern West Bank city of Nablus on Friday, the Israel Defense Forces said. An armed Palestinian group calling itself “Lion’s Den” said it had captured the quadcopter that crashed in the Old City of Nablus, publishing images of it taken apart.
The faction said its members were examining the device.
The group, based in Nablus, was established in recent months by members of various terror groups. Some of its members were apparently previously affiliated with the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
It has claimed responsibility for numerous shooting attacks in the northern West Bank.
The IDF said the drone crashed due to a technical malfunction. No sensitive information was lost due to the crash and there was no risk of intelligence being taken from the device, the army said.
