A few hours later, Islamic Jihad published photos of the areas around Gaza that they claim were taken by one of their drones.The Iron Dome missile defense system shot down a “suspicious” aircraft flying over the Gaza Strip on Thursday, the Israel Defense Forces said.According to the IDF, the device “was monitored throughout the entire incident” by the air force’s ground control. The military said the UAV did not enter Israeli airspace, adding that the interceptor missiles were fired at the device while it was over Gaza.
The timing does not seem coincidental. When Israel announced downing the drone, Islamic Jihad wanted to show Gazans that it had accomplished a mission.
