Breaking: Defense Ministry Diplomatic-Security chief says (Iranian) drone totally failed to accomplish its mission

Defense Ministry Diplomatic-Security chief Amos Gilad told Israel Radio on Tuesday that whoever sent the drone over Israel this past Saturday totally failed.
The entity responsible for sending a small unmanned aerial vehicle over southern Israel failed in both of its mission: retrieving intelligence data, and harming the image of Israeli air defense, Defense Ministry Diplomatic-Security chief Amos Gilad told Israel Radio on Tuesday.

Gilad said that the UAV was identified over a long distance and, due to operational concerns, was only shot down by the IDF when it reached an open area.

Gilad added that Israel was still unsure who had sent the aircraft.
Hmmm. 

In an earlier post, I reported that Iran has confirmed to Al-Arabiya that it was the party who sent the drone. That report also came from Israel Radio. For now, at least, the Defense Ministry cannot confirm or does not want to confirm that report.
