Downed drone in Israel

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-24794960

Funny that the Israeli Defence Force have spoken out on this one. I seem to remember in the wake of the recent strikes into Syria they made the mind boggling statement that they were not prepared to comment on individual strikes (despite the implications for any attempt to monitor their compliance with international law).

I guess the rules are different when the IDF feels that it is being portrayed in a negative light. Obviously whether or not the Palestinian rebels have the capacity to shoot down drones is far more important than any moral or legal concerns in the media about Israel's belligerent actions.
