IDF shoots down Hamas drone
An IDF fighter jet shoots down a Hamas drone flying from the Gaza Strip toward the Mediterranean Sea, the army says.
The unmanned aerial vehicle never entered Israeli territory, army notes.
“The IDF will not allow any violation of [Israel’s] air space and will operate with determination against any attempt to do so,” the IDF says in a statement.
