Iraq’s Popular Mobilization units and regular army forces have downed an Israeli-manufactured surveillance drone operated by the Takfiri ISIS terrorist group near the restive city of Fallujah, west of the capital, Baghdad, Al-Alam News Network reports.
The downing of the drone came on Sunday after the Iraqi forces detected the unmanned aircraft roaming around, the local al-Maalouma news agency reported citing a security source.
The drone was reportedly taking photographs when it was downed by the Iraqi forces near Fallujah. An examination of the wreckage of the drone later revealed that it was manufactured by an Israeli arms maker.
Iraqi security sources believe that the Takfiri terror group possesses advanced weaponry supplied to them by a number of countries and entities in the region.
Security analysts say the ISIS’s access to surveillance and intelligence drones indicates a high level of military aid extended to the militants.
