Gaza’s Hamas
terrorist rulers have been trying to develop an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV),
the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit reveals.
A video published by the IDF Spokesperson shows Hamas
conducting a test flight of
the drone it was building. Over the past week, during the IDF’s Operation
Pillar of Defense, IAF aircraft
struck a stockpile of such UAVs.
Reports on Friday evening indicated that the Hamas developers of the UAV acquired the
knowledge required to develop it in Iran and Syria.
The UAVs that the IDF destroyed can reportedly reach a
distance of tens of kilometers from Gaza,
including to Tel Aviv and north of it.
Channel 1 News reported that Hamas’s desire was to
have a UAV similar to one flown by Hizbullah over Israel
during the 2006 Second Lebanon War.
Last month, Israel
shot down an Iranian-made drone that penetrated Israel's
airspace. Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah later boasted that his group
sent the unmanned drone over Israel.
The group’s Al-Manar television network also broadcast
a video which the network claimed simulates the route made by
the unmanned drone.
Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi
subsequently confirmed that Iran
had provided Hizbullah with the drone, claiming his country’s “capabilities are
very high and are at the disposal and service of Islamic nations.”
