Huffington Post: Iran Drones Reached Israel By The Dozens, Claims Military Official

Posted: 16 Oct 2012 10:27 AM PDT

An Israeli official rejected the account.

The Iranian official declined to give further details on the purported missions or the capabilities of the drones, including whether they were similar to the unmanned aircraft launched last week by Lebanon's Hezbollah and downed by Israeli warplanes. It also was impossible to independently verify the claims from the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.
