The drone, which had also overflown Jordan and appeared to have been unarmed and designed for surveillance, was downed near the Sea of Galilee at the Golan foothills in northern Israel, spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Jonathan Conricus told reporters.

“We are still looking into why it crossed - whether it was on a military mission and crossed on purpose, or it strayed,” he said, while adding that the latter scenario was “not common”.

That is another thing I like about having an ally like Israel. They see a drone in their neck of the woods, they do two things in this order:

1. Shoot it down

2. Tell everyone so there is no misunderstanding

Under the Obamaster, we would have a discussion with a plethora of the uninformed:

Staff Sycophants, Mentally challenged Democratic Lawmakers and Hollywood Miscreants.
