News Story: Iran has Israel drone data - defence official


Iran is in possession of data transmitted by an unmanned Hezbollah drone that overflew "restricted" sites and bases in Israel this month, a defence official said.

The drone "transmitted live data, photographing sensitive Israeli bases," chair of the Iranian parliament's defence commission, Esmaeel Kosari, told Iran's Arabic-language Al-Alam television.
