Facebook users and pages have shared two images purporting to show an Israeli-Moroccan drone that recently crashed in Smara.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar has investigated the claim and found it misleading.
The images show two different drones; the first is a Turkish type "Bayraktar" drone that was shot down in Libya. According to the Drone War database, the photo was taken in 2020.
The second picture shows an Israeli drone that crashed in the Gaza Strip. The photo was posted in June 2017.
