Hezbollah sent a reconnaissance drone into Israeli territory over northern Jewish settlements Sunday in the first hostile aerial incursion from Lebanon since a hang glider attack 17 years ago killed six soldiers.

The militant Islamic group said that the flight was in response to repeated Israeli violations of Lebanese airspace and that it reached Israel's northern coastal city of Nahariya on the border before returning it to base. A Hezbollah statement faxed to The Associated Press said Islamic Resistance, the group's military wing, carried out the flight.

Hezbollah said it retrieved the drone safely, but Lebanon's largest TV station, LBC, quoted witnesses as saying the aircraft crashed into the sea off the border town of Naqoura, adding that fishermen found the wreckage of the aircraft and gave it to Hezbollah members.

It was unclear if the drone was a homemade, makeshift aircraft or bought from abroad. Hezbollah did not describe its capabilities, say how many it had or provide further details, but promised there would be more flights.


In further news, the new General of the Hezboalh Air Force said they would commence 24/7 surveilance of Isreal once they rounded up enough rubber bands.

I had forgotten about the hang glider thing, but that's allways been an amusing immage of old school Islamic terror for me.

By drone, do the mean "$30 remote controlled toy with a camera duct taped to it"?

The drone's final test flight, prior to the start of operations.
