epa03025221 An Israeli Air Force 'Heron' unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), or drone, flies over Palmachim Air Base, near Yavne, Israel, 05 December 2011, in a display for the media. The Israeli army invited journalists to view the drone at a time when various countries are showing concern over Iran's growing nuclear capabilities. The 'Heron' drone is 12 meters long with a 16 meter wingspan and can fly for more than 24 hours at an altitude of 30,000 feet. An Israeli Air Force major who briefed the journalists stressed that the drone could go 'where Israeli needed it to go,' but refused to elaborate further or give exact distances the craft was able to fly, but did say it could not be refuelled in flight.

Syrian state media reported that “foreign bodies” – the use of the term indicates they may be unmanned drones – Saturday evening entered Syrian air space from Israel in the country’s south.

The late Saturday report on state news agency SANA comes a day after a similar incident that caused loud explosions in Damascus

SANA said Syrian defenses were activated and dealt with the incoming “foreign bodies” which were coming from the southern region of Quneitra on the edge of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. This is the same area from where the Friday attacks originated.
