[IsraelTimes] Small commercially made craft likely brought down using electronic warfare means; military says device taken for inspection

Israeli forces on Tuesday brought down a small quadcopter drone launched by the Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, terror group over the northern Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Strip, the military said.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, the small off-the-shelf device was monitored during its flight and did not cross Israel’s barrier with the coastal enclave.

It was brought down while flying near the border fence.

The IDF did not specify how the drone was brought down; however, it was believed to have been done using electronic warfare means.

A picture of the drone released by the military showed a small quadcopter that appeared to be a commercially available model manufactured by Chinese company DJI. It did not appear to have been damaged after being downed.

The drone was taken by the military for further inspection, the IDF added.

Earlier this year, the Iron Dome air defense system shot down a "suspicious" aircraft flying over the Gaza Strip.

Israel typically does not interfere when the Gaza-ruling Hamas conducts drone test flights, only when they are being flown out of the Strip.
