According to news wires, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that the drone aircraft, which flew some 35 miles (55 km) last weekend into Israeli territory before being shot down by the IDF was sent by the Lebanese, Iranian proxy militia the Hizbullah. Spokesman for the prime minister's office Mark Regev was unavailable to confirm to Arutz Sheva that a statement was released.

The statement as quoted by international Anglophone news said Israel would "act with determination to defend its borders", just as "we thwarted over the weekend Hezbollah's attempt" to penetrate Israeli airspace. "As we prevented last weekend an attempt by Hizbullah. We shall continue to act aggressively against all threats," Netanyahu said.

The jet, under Israeli surveillance was shot down on Saturday over a forest near the border with Judea and Samaria.

The IDF released a 10-second video clip of Saturday's incident, showing a small, unidentified aircraft is seen moments before being destroyed by a missile fired from an IAF fighter jet.
