A small Israeli military surveillance drone crashed in the Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City this morning, according to Palestinian media and the IDF.

The military says the unmanned aerial vehicle, a Skylark 3 model, was on a reconnaissance mission when it made an "emergency landing in the northern Gaza Strip following a technical malfunction."

There is no fear of information leaking from the device, the IDF adds.

The Skylark is a tactical surveillance drone created by Elbit Systems and operated by the IDF's Artillery Corps. Many Skylark UAVs have crashed in hostile territory over the years.
