Palestinians: Unmanned drone killed 40 last week in Gaza
The Israel Air Force successfully tested an unmanned aerial vehicle platform capable of firing missiles or anti-tank munitions at ground targets. Palestinian sources said the unidentified UAV has been used during the current "Days of Pentinence" military operation in the northern Gaza Strip targeting Hamas operatives and others involved in the recent rash of Kassam rocket attacks.
This is a Paleostinian fantasy... for now. I posted this for entertainment purposes.
So far, the sources said, the UAV was responsible for the death of 40 Palestinians over the last week.
0-40 kill ratio is as good as it gets.
They said the UAV was used to locate and target Palestinian combatants in the Jabalya refugee camp, the focus of Kassam-class short-range missile production. The sources said the UAV was capable of targeting and destroying moving vehicles.
The all seeing eye of the Jooooos.
On Tuesday, the Palestinian Authority-owned Al Hayat Al Jadida published a photograph of the Israeli UAV, dubbed Zanana. The Arabic word was a reference to the buzzing made by the approaching UAV. About 80 Palestinians have been killed in the military operation, which entered its eight day on Wednesday. An Israeli military statement said that on Tuesday Bashir Dabash, head of Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip, was killed by a missile fired from an Israeli aircraft. The military said more than 50 of the Palestinian casualties in the current operation were Hamas combatants. The United Nations said the casualties included 24 Palestinians up until the age of 14.
