Israel’s air defense system intercepted a drone flying over the Gaza Strip on Sunday, the Israeli military said.
The UAV did not enter Israeli airspace and was under surveillance from the moment it took off by air force systems, the Israeli military explained via X (formerly Twitter).
The remotely piloted unmanned aerial vehicle was intercepted by the Iron Dome system. “It did not pose a threat to the residents of southern Israel and no alerts were issued under the protocol,” he added.
Last month, the Israeli military bombed the Gaza Strip from the air “in response” to five rockets fired by Palestinians amid its biggest operation in the West Bank city of Jenin in five years.
Over 2 million Palestinians live in the tiny coastal enclave in extremely poor conditions. The Gaza Strip, where the Islamist group Hamas has been in power since 2007, has been under a strict blockade by Israel, supported by Egypt, since then.
