The Israel Air Force revealed Tuesday that its F-15 squadrons frequently uses advanced, long-range cameras to photograph enemy targets without leaving Israeli air space.
On reconnaissance flights, Israeli planes take pictures of targets well beyond Israel’s borders, such as a Hizbullah arms warehouse in southern Lebanon, or the location of hostile terrorist forces in Syria.
“It’s possible to refrain from entering enemy territory and still gather quality intelligence,” said Lt. Omer, a squadron photography officer.

This is a simple and very, very old technique. There is nothing new or special about it. everybody (including Huzbolah) uses it.
And, most of the intelligence collected these days does NOT come from aircraft sporting cameras.
