Head of Air Force Headquarters Brigadier General Tomer Bar said that the Iranian drone which infiltrated Israeli airspace spent about one and a half minutes over Israeli territory; he added: “Our superiority has not been harmed.”

Bar also said that the decision to use an Apache helicopter to down the drone was not incidental and this is the first time that an Iranian drone is in Israeli hands.

This is the first time since 1982 that an Israeli aircraft was downed.
