GAZA CITY: An Israeli military unmanned drone crashed in the northern Gaza Strip on Sunday, with Palestinians saying they shot it down but Israel blaming a technical malfunction.
A security source from the Hamas, movement that rules Gaza, said they had “captured an Israeli drone that was flying over east Jabalia this morning.â€
He did not elaborate.
But Hamas’s military wing, the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, claimed on their Twitter account “responsibility for shooting down an #Israeli mini-drone.â€
The Israeli Army denied the claim and said “a ‘Skylark’ tactical mini UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) system crashed earlier today in the Gaza Strip due to a technical malfunction.â€
Israel uses drones over Gaza to carry out attacks.
