Israeli Drones Haunt Gaza
Israeli drones are a constant reality in Gaza, proving a major obstacle to armed factions while destroying Palestinian civilians' sense of security.
GAZA CITY, Gaza — Gaza residents have grown accustomed to the sound of drones flying overhead day and night. Israel considers Gaza — a small, besieged patch of land — a “hostile entity” and tries to get as much information about what goes on there as possible, in any way in can.
Although the word “drone” suggests a plane used for spying and surveillance, drones have in fact also become tools for killing and targeting armed Palestinian elements.
Residents of Gaza are able to quickly identify the drones’ abrasive noise whenever they enter Gaza airspace. The drones also interfere with satellite TV signals.
Israeli drones are a serious threat to armed Palestinian factions. Drones allow Israel to monitor fighter movements and military preparations in Gaza and to bomb fighters, rocket launchers and weapons-storage sites.
