PNN – The Hebrew media outlet Walla reported the interception of a third unidentified drone in a single week by the Israeli military, noting that the regime’s security agencies have not yet succeeded in identifying the origin of these drones.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network; the Hebrew-language news outlet Walla reported that the Air Force intercepted an unidentified drone heading toward (occupied Palestine) this Tuesday morning; the interception took place before the drone crossed the border into (occupied Palestine).
The outlet acknowledged that this marks the third such incident in the past week, presenting a complex challenge for the Israeli military. This event is part of a series of unusual incidents that began last week when the Israeli military intercepted a drone.
This suspicious drone was flying over Syrian airspace and approaching the airspace of Israel (occupied Palestine). Despite in-depth investigations, extensive intelligence efforts, and the recovery of wreckage from the field, the identity of the drone’s operator remains unknown.
A security source told the “Walla” website that suspicions are currently focused on the launch of drones from Iraq.
He added: No final decision has been reached yet, but it appears—and we do not rule out the possibility—that this could be the initial sign of hostile elements in Iraqi airspace, backed by Iran, acting against Israel.
Among the assessments put forward, various possibilities have been examined—including the involvement of regional and international actors such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Hezbollah, Russia, Turkey, Jordan, or other hostile organizations—as well as the possibility that a U.S. drone may have gone out of control. However, none of these assessments has led to a definitive conclusion.
Another part of the report notes that a few days later—and before the initial incident was resolved—another drone was detected in Jordanian airspace near the Dead Sea, also heading toward Israel.
Meanwhile, seeking to move beyond a reactive stance, the Israeli military claimed that the fact these drones were shot down before entering (occupied Palestinian) airspace—unlike in previous attacks—represented an achievement in itself.
However, according to Walla, these three interceptions have failed to dispel the military establishment’s concerns and tensions; the situation clearly points to confusion and an intelligence gap, given that three distinct drones were intercepted without intelligence officials being able to definitively identify their operators.
The primary concern lies in the fact that there is an entity in this arena exploiting a security vulnerability to deploy drones, and it might do so again in a more severe scenario.
