The new explosive drone threat from Gaza
2018-07-29
[Ynet] For several months, the IDF hid from the public the fact Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, drones dropped explosives inside an Israeli community on the Gazoo border; this could've been an experiment indicating on a worrying new capability, which could be used to target Iron Dome batteries and IDF positions.

On May 13, 2018, around 9pm, an kaboom was heard in one of the communities on the Gazoo border. Residents who came out of their homes found on their front lawn two bombs attached to something that appeared to be a small parachute, white and square. One of the devices went kaboom!, but didn't cause any damage. Security forces that arrived at the town gathered the findings, but couldn't explain at the time how and where did they come from.

Several days later a similar device was once again discovered on the outskirts of that town, which is located across the border from Gazoo City. This time, security forces could point to a connection between the bombs and a drone coming from the strip.

#4  One day we will line a few artillery divisions opposite Gaza and start shelling till there's nothing left - until then, we'll have to endure terror attacks.

#3  Interesting article today about the Houthis has this to report:

The Houthis also have drones, including a suicide drone, the Qasef-1 (Striker), which the Houthis claim to manufacture. The Qasef-1 carries 30 kilograms of high explosives and is a version of the Iranian Abibil-3 drone. Most analysts say that the Qasef-1 is manufactured in Iran and is stuffed with the same equipment as the known Iranian versions.

The Iranians have used the Abibil-3 (Swallow) in Iraq, Sudan, Syria and Lebanon, and have supplied them to Hezbollah and to Hamas in Gaza. The drone itself is a hodgepodge of parts, some of them American, some Asian. The engine is a two-cylinder DLE-222 made in China but widely available worldwide, even from eBay (price US$1,649.99 with free shipping).
