Armed Drones Gave IDF "Surgical" Precision during Recent Gaza Fighting
(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - During the recent fighting against Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza, Israel Air Force drones conducted 100 sorties. "The whole of Gaza is covered with UAVs that collect intelligence 24 hours a day," Brig.-Gen. Omri Dor, the commander of Palmachim Airbase, said Wednesday. Dor said that being able to conduct "aggressive attacks with...minimal collateral damage" using fighter jets was thanks to the drones scanning the area. During the recent battles, the IDF said it delayed several strikes after drones identified innocent people nearby.
