After days of firing massive rocket barrages at the occupied territories from the Gaza Strip, which have overwhelmed the Zionist entity’s Iron Dome defense systems, Palestinian Resistance has begun employing a new weapon: Shehab suicide drones.
Hamas’ military wing, Al Qassam Brigades, says that these were developed and built locally.
The first image of Shehab, which Hamas does not appear to have previously disclosed the existence of, came in a video, showing Resistance fighters handling and then launching Shehabs.
The use of these unmanned aircraft is now a component of some of the harshest fighting between Palestinian Resistance groups and the Israeli occupation forces in years.
Unguided rockets of various types remain the weapon for choice for the Al Qassam Brigades, as well as Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which have, together, now fired more than 1,700 rockets at the Zionist entity from Gaza in the past four days.
In addition to video, Al-Qassam Brigades announced on Friday it had targeted a chemical facility in Nir Oz with Shehab explosive-laden drone.
Earlier on Thursday, Israeli occupation army claimed it downed a UAV that crossed from the Gaza Strip into occupied territories.
