GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — For the first time, in a documentary released on June 11, Hamas’ military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, revealed that it possesses a large number of drones, which were manufactured and developed in the Gaza Strip.
The documentary also sheds light on two of Hamas’ most prominent drone engineers, who were assassinated by Israel during the last military aggression on Gaza in May 2021 — Dhafer al-Shawa and Hazem al-Khatib.
