Israel uses explosive-laden drones against Palestinians: Report
JERUSALEM (AA) – The Israeli army has used drones capable of carrying gas canisters and bombs in attacks against Palestinians, according to an Israeli newspaper.
The Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, citing a senior military officer, said the army has developed these drones to be able to fire grenades and tear gas canisters.
The officer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the drones are capable of attacking their targets even inside their homes.
According to the newspaper, the drones are being used by the Israeli ground forces in carrying out clandestine missions against Palestinians.
