According to them, the initial investigation shows that even before crossing the border, the IDF realized that it was an airplane

that did not endanger civilians and that in the worst case it carried a camera. "Activating the alarm is an operational malfunction.

A preliminary investigation was conducted in the defense establishment and later. The IDF response was defined by security officials as an "operational malfunction."

One of the sources said that "they followed him from the moment he got up, even before he crossed. There was a quick assessment of the situation in the IDF and they understood that this was the worst case of a pilot with a camera.

You do not shake the whole north with alarms, the public runs to protected areas, operates fighter helicopters and fighter jets, launches an Iron Dome interceptor and at the end it returns to Lebanese space.

This is not acceptable.

There are other solutions. "
