The Ezzeddine Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas resistance movement published video clips of its targeting by the Israeli warplanes, this morning, with several surface-to-air missiles, in response to the occupation targeting a "Shehab" drone, in the airspace of the southern Gaza Strip while it was flying on a training mission.

"During a training mission for the Al-Qassam Brigades Air Force on Monday morning, the Zionist warplanes targeted a Qassam Shehab-type drone in the airspace of the southern Gaza Strip using Surfrace-to-Air missiles," the armed faction said.

Several explosions were heard in the southern airspace of the Gaza Strip as a result of heat-seeking missiles that were fired toward an unspecified target.

The Israeli air force was hit by an anti-aircraft missile by the resistance in the southern Gaza Strip, Israeli media reported.

The resistance downed an Israeli quadcopter drone in Beit Hanoun, in the northern Gaza Strip, back in mid-March.

Before that, the same faction, Al-Qassam Brigades, said in late January that it downed and captured an IOF military remote surveillance small drone over Gaza.

The Al-Qassam Brigades said they took control of a drone during the recent aggression on Gaza and extracted sensitive information related to the occupation forces from it.

"Israel's" occupation forces had reportedly kept the disappearance of this drone secret until Hamas announced it was in their possession.
