Hezbollah Drone Incursion Into Israel Linked To Downed American Drone In Iran By: Marshall Ramsey II, Worthy News U.S. Correspondent WASHINGTON, D.C. - (WorthyNews) The unmanned drone that made its way into southern Israeli airspace, and shot down, last Saturday has been tentatively linked to an American stealth drone that was downed in Iran late last year. Israel has stated that the drone was sent by Hezbollah,a known terrorist organization and lawful heads of state in Lebanon. This was confirmed by Sheikh Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, head of Hezbollah. Nasrallah seemed to gloat that this incursion into Israeli airspace was done. "The resistance in Lebanon sent sophisticated reconnaissance aircraft from Lebanon. It penetrated the enemy's iron procedures and entered occupied southern Palestine," he said. The drone "flew over sensitive installations inside southern Palestine and was shot down in an area near the Dimona reactor."

There has been speculation as to who made the drone, that is, who fabricated the parts. Russia is one candidate, while Iran is another. Hassan Nasrallah personally states that the drone "is not Russian made. This drone was Iranian made." Micah Zenko, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and specialist in drone technology proliferation and the Middle East at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., says that this was a regular occurrence and is of no real importance. "That it happened again is absolutely insignificant," he said. "The type of drone shot down on Saturday cannot be piloted until someone has "line control" of the device, or is within 50 kilometers of it," he said. This suggests that Hezbollah agents either had direct sight of the drone (line control means line-to-sight control, a.k.a. laser sighting) or were withing 31 miles of it when the drone was shot down. It also suggests that Mr. Zenko had direct, personal knowledge of that specific make and model of drone, indicating that Mr. Zenko had direct, personal knowledge of that specific make and model of drone, indicating possibly connections to both Iran and Hezbollah.

Iranian officials at the time said that the drone was either shot down or crashed due to a hack attack on the control systems by the Iranian military. American officials deny this, saying "The stories are fanciful and that the drone was lost due to a malfunction. The loss of the drone occurred more than 140 miles from the Iran/Afghanistan border. The RQ-170 Sentinel has been in service for some time now, having seen action in western Afghanistan as far back as 2009. It was also said to have been used in the raid on "Osama bin Laden" before he was killed. A statement from the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan said Iran "might have recovered an unarmed reconnaissance aircraft" flying a mission over western Afghanistan." Experts in this field have noted that the stealth technology of the RQ-170 "greatly reduces the chances that the drone can be directed by radar," but that they had little use in western Afghanistan because the Taliban have no radar to detect flights." If the above statement is true, and I believe it is, this indicates a willful and intentional direction of the RQ-170 into Iranian territory specifically for the purpose of being spotted by Iranian radar. It is quite possible, even likely, in light of the evidence and case presented by yours truly, that someone in the U.S. military purposefully flew the drone into Iran for the express purpose of delivering American military technology into Iranian hands. It is also highly likely that Presidents Obama and Ahmedinejad are recently working together to destroy or enslave the people of the nations of Israel.

The drone made its entry into Israel from the Gaza Strip, and was shot down about 22 miles South East on the city of Beersheba. The only solutions for given what we know is that the plane flew for a long time by itself, or that it had someone "close by" at all times.
