Breaking: Confirmed: Iran sent that drone

Citing al-Arabiya, Israel Radio is reporting (11:00 pm) that, as I reported was likely earlier this week, Iran sent the drone that was shot down over the Northern Negev desert on Saturday.

Israel Radio also reports that al-Arabiya cited Iranian sources that claim that Iran sent the drone to gather intelligence on Israel's nuclear reactor in Dimona. Iran claims that it can destroy the Dimona reactor if Israel attacks Iran's nuclear facilities.

Hmmm. I guess now it becomes really important to know how soon the IAF picked up that drone. And they're not saying.

UPDATE 11:44 PM

Welcome Power Line readers.

Nor should they. They may have been monitoring it all the time, testing methodology to take over control of the drone, they may have been monitoring it's communications traffic. I can readily imagine there are any number of things connected to this drone flight that for sound reasons of military security shouldn't be public knowledge.

From the large amounts of information publicly available, we can take great confidence that Israeli military and intel technology is world-class.

I saw one report that they picked the shootdown spot to balance not having it crash on houses and retrieval of the DNA sample. If it was Iran's drone, then it may be a knock-off of Obama's gift drone, eh?
