IDF permits Hebrew-language media to publish that it downed several Iranian drones heading for the Gaza Strip last year.
Two were intercepted by F-35 jets, and a third using electronic warfare, far from the Israeli borders, the reports say.
It is said to be the first time F-35 jets have been used to take down a drone.
According to the reports, the drones were carrying firearms destined for terror groups in Gaza.
