A resident of northern Israel and a candidate for the Knesset, Nissan Zvi, claims that Israeli security forces are withholding information about an unidentified object that entered Israeli airspace over the weekend. Zvi, who is also a leader of the 1701 movement, stated in an interview with i24NEWS on Monday that the IDF possesses details regarding the drone's identity and origin but is not disclosing them to the public. He asserted that the object was a new type of drone belonging to Hezbollah, accusing security officials of attempting to conceal this "serious violation" despite promises of a significant response. Zvi further alleged via a post on X that the drone reached Haifa, photographed strategic sites, and returned to Lebanon via the sea without being intercepted or triggering any alarms. He criticized the government for keeping the incident secret for two days, drawing a parallel to the alleged concealment of a Hezbollah tent within Israeli territory. Zvi expressed concern over the uncertainty faced by northern residents, with security forces mobilized while the public remains uninformed about the reasons. He demanded an immediate explanation from the Israeli government, questioning Prime Minister Netanyahu's past promises of a retaliatory strike on Beirut in response to any threat from Lebanon.
