The military wing of Hamas claims to have downed and captured an Israeli military drone over the Gaza Strip on Friday.
In a statement, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades says the drone was captured while “on a special mission inside the Gaza Strip” during an Israeli Air Force airstrike in response to rocket attacks on southern Israel.
Hamas claims to have “extracted important sensitive information” from the device.
The Israel Defense Forces has no immediate comment on the matter.
