[IsraelTimes] Unclear if device, reported by Paleostinian media to be a small drone, was intercepted; large explosion also reported in StripThe Iron Dome air defense system shot at an "unidentified aircraft" flying over the 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. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about

disproportionate response...
Strip on Monday morning, the military said, a day after a similar incident.
The Israel Defense Forces said the device was identified as flying toward Israeli airspace from Gaza, but did not end up crossing the border.
Iron Dome interceptor missiles were fired at the aircraft while it was still over the Strip, although it remained unclear if was intercepted, the IDF said.
"The aircraft did not pose an immediate threat to civilians in the area surrounding the Gaza Strip, and no alerts were activated according to protocol," the IDF added.
A video circulating on social media showed a drone flying over Gaza, with Paleostinian media reports suggesting the small aircraft was the device that the Iron Dome fired at.
Paleostinian media also reported a large blast west of Gaza City. The cause of the earth-shattering kaboom was not immediately clear.
On Sunday, the IDF said the Iron Dome shot down a small drone that was flying from the southern Gaza Strip toward Israeli airspace.
Israel typically does not interfere when Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", conducts drone test flights, only when they are being flown out of the Strip.
The Iron Dome was first used operationally to intercept a Hamas drone in May 2021, during an 11-day conflict with Paleostinian terror groups in the Strip, known in Israel as Operation Guardian of the Walls.
During the conflict, the system also mistakenly shot down an Israeli drone.
The IDF shot down drones over the Gaza Strip in March of this year, in May 2022, and in November 2021.
