The IDF says it detected and tracked a drone flying from Israel into the southern Gaza Strip overnight.
This morning, after the device was picked up by “suspects” in southern Gaza, an Israeli Air Force drone carried out an airstrike against them.
According to Palestinian media, two people were killed in the Israeli strike.
In recent weeks, there have been several attempts to smuggle contraband into the Gaza Strip, with the IDF saying suspects on the Israeli side load up drones with weapons or drugs and fly them over the border.
