Furthermore, as the Jerusalem Post reported, Nasrallah pointed at Israel as the drone instigator: he considered Israel capable of sending one of its own UAV towards Lebanon before taking it down on the way back in order to ascribe the responsibility to Hezbollah. However, such an accusation seems to be groundless: how would have Israel benefit from such an action? Perhaps, the pretext for a military intervention? Even assuming that Israel would be capable to do so, Israeli choice would be quite illogical: why destroying one own UAV, instead of setting out a military offensive towards Lebanon six months ago taking advantage of the 6 October drone? Rather, the hypothesis, contemplated by Nasrallah himself, according to which a hostile faction sent the drone in order to benefit from an Israeli-Hezbollah conflict, seems to be more acceptable.
At present, there is no full clarity and it would be necessary waiting the drone fragments recovery operation in order to gain a neat picture.
