In a post on Twitter, IDF Spokesman in Arabic Maj. Avichay Adraee noted that the UAV contained classified images of Hezbollah special forces during a drone exercise.
سمح بالنشر: مسيّرة تابعة لحزب الله أسقطت مؤخرًا كانت تحوي صورًا سرية يبدو انها للقوات الخاصة التابعة للحزب خلال تمرين خاص بتشغيل طائرات مسيرة. كما سجّل ارتفاعًا في عدد مسيرات #حزب_الله التي أسقطتها قوات جيش الدفاع في الأشهر الأخيرة pic.twitter.com/4Il3zogPSB

He further noted that there has been an uptick in the Iranian-backed Shiite terrorist group's drone activity over the past few months, resulting in an increase in the number of UAV's downed by the Israeli military.
An IDF statement released on Tuesday said that the drone had been tracked the entire time it was airborne. It did not specify how the drone was downed when it breached Israeli airspace.
A picture of the drone released by the military showed a small quadcopter that did not appear to be armed.
