    Interesting I wonder if it was manned or (likely) a drone.

    An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle belonging to Hezbollah crashed in south Lebanon Saturday, Lebanon's Christian channel MTV reported. No additional details were immediately available. The channel is not affiliated with Hezbollah.

    It's amazing how a terrorist group can maintain aerial vehicles without the host country shooting them down. Dirty, dirty Lebanon.

    The problem here is that the terrorist organization is a part of the country's government.

    Well, their most modern aircraft is a Cessna Caravan and their most capable a couple of hawker hunters. That combined with the fact that they only have some ancient AAA as well as some manpads would make shooting it down quite hard.

    "government" is also a different term when we are talking about Lebanon, while it is not an excuse for the activities of Hezbollah, it is not like the Lebanese Gov't has effective control over the entire country. Look to their neighbors.
