| [IsraelTimes] The IDF confirms carrying out an airstrike in the southern Gaza Strip several hours ago, targeting a group of suspects who took possession of a drone that was used in a smuggling attempt. According to the military, the drone had been identified as crossing from Israel into Gaza, in an attempt to smuggle prohibited goods. After the drone landed and several suspects took possession of it, the IDF carried out an airstrike against them. Palestinian media reported several dead and wounded in the strike. The IDF says it is trying to find those who operated the drone, “to bring them to justice.” Several such smuggling attempts have been carried out in recent weeks, with the IDF saying suspects on the Israeli side load up drones with weapons or drugs and fly them over the border into Gaza. Some of the attempts have been successful, according to the military.
