Yesterday, Palestinian media reported that the drone crashed in the Zaytoun neighborhood of Gaza City.
The drone had been operated by the Shin Bet security agency, rather than the Israel Defense Forces.
The agency declines to comment on the incident.
Small, off-the-shelf drones used by the military for simple reconnaissance missions crash with relative frequency in enemy territory.
