Hamas Reportedly Claims It Downed Israeli Drone Amid Escalating Gaza Tension
2019-11-05
Golly.
[SPUTNIKNEWS] A dangerous escalation of tensions near the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip border comes against the backdrop of Tel Aviv’s threat to launch a ground war on the Paleostinian enclave, as Israeli fighter jets struck targets in Gaza in retaliation for recent rockets launched from near the border.

Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, says it has shot down an Israeli drone in the northern Gaza Strip, according to al-Arabiya.

According to Al Mayadeen TV, the drone that was shot down was a quadcopter.

Amid other conflicting accounts, Al Ain said that Hamas was able to take possession of the drone, while the Israeli daily The Jerusalem Post cited some reports as saying that the drone had flown out of the area after being shot at.

The IDF has not yet offered an official comment regarding the incident.

News of the current alleged downing of a drone comes amid heightened tensions in the region, as Israeli combat planes struck military compounds affiliated with Hamas in the Gaza Strip in response to what it claimed were rocket attacks from the Paleostinian enclave, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said in its statement on Saturday.
