Israeli Military Confirms Drone Crash in Southern Lebanon
The Israeli military confirmed on Friday that one of its drones crashed in southern Lebanon during the night, attributing the incident to a technical malfunction. The military statement emphasized that there were no concerns about sensitive information being leaked.
In a statement published by Yedioth Ahronoth, Israel's prominent newspaper, the military clarified that the drone's failure was caused by a technical issue and assured that there was no risk of security breaches. "The drone crashed due to a technical malfunction, and there are no concerns regarding the leak of sensitive information," the statement read. An investigation into the incident is currently underway.
Earlier reports by Lebanese media outlet Al-Mayadeen, which is closely associated with Hezbollah, claimed that the Israeli drone had targeted a vehicle in the Kfarkila region of southern Lebanon before it crashed and exploded. While the Lebanese outlet suggested an attack on a vehicle, the Israeli military has not confirmed these allegations.
This incident comes amid heightened security tensions along the Lebanese-Palestinian border, with increasing use of drones by both sides for surveillance and targeted operations. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has become more prevalent in recent months as the region experiences escalating hostilities and military activity.
The crash is likely to add further strain to an already volatile situation. While Israel has often used drones for reconnaissance and surveillance missions along the border, the crash of an Israeli drone in Lebanon raises concerns over the potential for further incidents and retaliation.
As the investigation continues, Israel's military authorities have not ruled out the possibility of further operational adjustments to prevent similar incidents in the future. However, they maintain confidence that no sensitive intelligence was compromised during the event.
The use of drones in the region continues to be a focal point of security operations, and experts predict that their role in the Israeli-Lebanese conflict will only increase, especially as both sides look to maintain their technological edge in an increasingly tense environment.

Emergency 911 Systems Go down in Pennsylvania
Rana Atef On Friday, the state of Pennsylvania is racing to address an issue with its emergency 911 systems. The issue was reported via an emergency alert as a 'statewide intermittent 911 outage.' However, Randy Padfield, the state's Emergency Management Director, said it isn't an outage. According to CBS News Philadelphia, sources said that it's a third-party company IT issue. The company is contracted with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency. Padfield said it's too soon to identify the reasons behind the issue, expecting that it could be a software or hardware problem. "Pennsylvania is experiencing a statewide intermittent 911 outage. Individuals experiencing issues contacting 911 are asked to contact their local 911 Center on their non-Emergency lines,' the alert stated. "The system continues to have some intermittent connectivity issues at this point in time. They are still trying to troubleshoot," Padfield added. During his latest update, Padfield said it appeared that most 911 calls were going through, but he added that there were some 'intermittent issues' with the calls. "Individuals should continue to use 911, and if they would call 911 for an emergency and the call is not delivered, they should use the backup seven-digit administrative line or follow the instructions of their local 911 center or public safety answering point," said Padfield. 'We are on top of the issue and working to restore full service as quickly as possible,' Governor Josh Shapiro said in a statement on X. 'In the meantime — stay calm, follow the directions of PEMA and local authorities, and do not call 911 for any reason other than an emergency.' read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream

Engine Fuel Supply Cut off Named Key Reason for Air India Jet Crash, Says Report
Rana Atef On Saturday, media reports indicated that the key reason for the Air India crash is a cut in the fuel supply to the engines. The plane was crashed shortly before taking off, causing the killing of 260 people. According to the report by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, cited by CNN, the fuel control switches in the cockpit of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner had been flipped, starving the engines of fuel. Investigators checked the data out of the plane's 'black box' recorders. The aircraft had reached an airspeed of 180 knots when both engines' fuel cutoff switches were 'transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of 01 sec,' according to the report. 'In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff. The other pilot responded that he did not do so,' the report reads. 'When fuel control switches are moved from CUTOFF to RUN while the aircraft is inflight, each engines full authority dual engine control automatically manages a relight and thrust recovery sequence of ignition and fuel introduction,' the report added. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream
