The US military is flying drones over the Gaza Strip to monitor the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, according to the New York Times, which says the surveillance flights suggest that the administration wants to know whats happening in the enclave independent of Israel.
Citing Israeli and American military officials, the report says the surveillance drones are assisting the mission of the newly established US-Israel Civil-Military Coordination Center in southern Israel, and that the aircraft are monitoring developments on the ground in Gaza with Israel’s consent.
