The Israeli army revealed that the drone that penetrated Israeli airspace from Syrian territory last night was shot down after being controlled by electronic means, not by a missile interception.
The Israeli military added that preliminary investigations of the wreckage, which was found this morning, indicate that the drone was made by Iran.
The Israeli army spokesman announced on Sunday the summoning of helicopters and fighter jets, following the detection of an unknown drone that infiltrated from Syrian territory into Israeli airspace, and the spokesman added that the drone was shot down in an open area without posing any danger.
Israel's broadcaster said the march, which entered from Syria, was suspected of being Iranian.
The downing of the march comes in light of the succession of air strikes on Syrian territory in recent days, the latest of which was in the early hours of Sunday in the Homs region and its countryside in the center of the country.
Earlier, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that one of its military advisers, Moqdad Mahqani, was killed in an Israeli raid on the Damascus suburbs early last Friday.
Al-Jazeera correspondent pointed out that these latest developments may be related to Operation Megiddo, in which a person infiltrated through an unknown point on the Lebanese-Israeli border and reached southern Haifa, where he planted the explosive device at the Megiddo junction, then got into a car and returned to the border, before the Israeli army managed to kill him.
