Islamic Jihad Tried to Launch Drone toward Israel's Tamar Gas Rig
(i24News) The IDF revealed Tuesday that Palestinian Islamic Jihad failed in its attempt to launch a drone toward Israel's Tamar off-shore gas rig from Gaza during the recent fighting. The platform is located 14 miles off the coast of Ashkelon. During the conflict with Hamas in May 2021, the group fired dozens of rockets toward Tamar, missing the intended target. Fuel was removed from the rig and it was temporarily taken offline at the start of the fighting.
