Israeli Defense System Intercepts Hamas-Affiliated UAV

On Monday, Israel’s army said that it has intercepted a Hamas drone that was launched toward the sea, according to local media reports.

It is reported in a tweet that the Israeli Defense Forces said an Iron Dome missile has intercepted the Hamas drone over the sea.

Israel and Hamas have fought four wars since 2008.

Last week, Israel launched a new balloon-mounted radar system with advanced missile and aircraft detection capabilities into the sky over northern Israel.

The system, dubbed "Sky Dew," is designed to warn against drones and advanced munitions threatening Israeli territory. The defense establishment has identified attempts in recent years by Iran to deploy drones with advanced capabilities in Lebanon and Syria, and in places farther afield. The drones were manufactured by Iran with the intent to attack Israel.
