RT correspondent reported that there were reports that "Hamas" had shot down an Israeli army drone in the east of the central governorate in the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian media said that the resistance factions in the Gaza Strip announced that an Israeli army drone had been shot down after it entered the Gaza airspace.

According to local sources in the Gaza Strip, "the resistance fighters managed to shoot down a" Quad Copter "drone in the east of the central governorate after it entered Gaza's airspace.

It is noteworthy that these drones are an important factor for the Israeli forces in gathering information about the locations and elements of the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip and tracking their movements.

On Tuesday, the second of February, the Israeli army announced the downing of its drone in the southern Gaza Strip.

In a statement posted on its Twitter account, the army said: "During the operational activity of an Israeli army force a short time ago, an army drone fell in the southern Gaza Strip."

The army added in its statement that "there is no fear of information leakage" from the plane that crashed into the Strip.

Also, on the 31st of January, the official Israeli Kan channel said that gunmen in the Gaza Strip shot down an Israeli army drone.

At the time, the channel quoted army sources as saying that a drone was shot down inside the Gaza Strip without fear of information leakage.

The channel did not add further details about the circumstances of the shooting down of the drone, and the mission for which it was launched in the sky of the Strip.

However, the Palestinian Ma'an News Agency (independent) quoted unnamed sources as saying that "Palestinian resistance fighters managed to shoot down an Israeli spy plane in the northern Gaza Strip and transport it to a safe place."

The agency published pictures it said were of the Israeli plane that crashed into the northern Gaza Strip.

In early February, the Israeli army announced that a drone had fallen inside Lebanese territory during operational activity on the borders
