‘Dropping like flies,’ another Israeli drone falls in Gaza

An Israeli military drone has fallen in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen television network on Wednesday cited Israeli media reports as saying that the aircraft fell on the roof of a home in Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza, and was delivered by locals to the headquarters of the resistance movement Hamas.

Some Palestinian media outlets had a different narrative. They said the drone was ‘shot down’ by resistance forces while flying over Gaza.

The drone’s downing comes amid tensions in Jerusalem al-Quds that have triggered protests in the occupied West Bank and Gaza in support of the Palestinians in the holy occupied city.

On Monday, Israeli sources said a mortar shell was fired from Gaza towards a settlement in the occupied territories.

It followed the firing of more than 40 rockets from the Israeli-blockaded coastal sliver into the occupied lands.

Two Palestinian resistance factions – Fatah’s al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine’s Abu Ali Brigades – claimed responsibility for the rocket fire.

Earlier this year, the Jerusalem Post said “Israeli military drones are dropping like flies” in the Lebanese and Palestinian territories.
