Camped in a military area and the use of a drone there is really not the best thing to do in this countries.

You always should be aware of laws and where you go.

But hope they get free soon

I'd say that holds true for anywhere, not just "these countries". I wouldn't do this in the US or in my own country and expect to get away with it without consequence. Especially if you're from a country that recently announced it would increase its military presence in the area.

Do hope they are released soon though.

As said above, flying drones/ taking pictures in sensitive places and being ignorant of local laws and customs isn't the best strategy to follow.

Hope they get released very soon.

Iran: drone warning
 

Only rumoured that drone use was the cause, but better to know.
