Yes, it states Israel destroyed its own drones, but says nothing about “helping” the percentage. Immediately shooting down drones

is the default course of action because the time between when a drone might be detected and when it could execute an attack is usually measured in "seconds."

Why does it matter if they are shooting down their own drones? Are you suggesting they are doing it on purpose?

Remember the nuclear WMD's in Iraq? I didn't trust that report in 2003.
