Hamas targets 2 Israeli military bases with drones
GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – Hamas said Monday it had targeted two Israeli military bases with drones.
The group’s armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, said two drones were fired at Hatzerim and Tze’elim military bases in southern Israel.
No information was provided about casualties.
The Israeli army confirmed that it had intercepted two drones fired from the Gaza Strip.
“Two UAVs were identified crossing from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory” at Nir Oz and Ein HaBesor near the border, the army said in a statement.
“Both UAVs were thwarted,” it added, without stating whether they were shot down.
Gaza has been under Israeli bombardment and a blockade since Oct. 7 when Hamas initiated Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, a multi-pronged surprise attack that included a barrage of rocket launches and infiltrations into Israel by land, sea and air. It said the incursion was in retaliation for the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque and growing violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians.
The Israeli military then launched Operation Swords of Iron against the Gaza Strip.
Nearly 6,500 people have been killed in the conflict, including at least 5,087 Palestinians.
