An Israeli Air Force drone, an unmanned aircraft, crashed in Gaza on Tuesday morning, 9 Adar II 5774. The Sky Rider drone is used to gather intelligence information over Gaza.

IrsaelDefense.com reports “The Sky Rider unit in the IDF Artillery Corps has been operating in recent years close to the various forces deployed in different sectors, providing a real-time intelligence picture. The integration of the new model in the field is expected to provide technological operational advantages, and the Ground Forces hope that in the future, every battalion will have a Sky Rider team to assist with field activities.”

Gaza sources report that in another incident on Tuesday, IDF fire resulted in the deaths of three Islamic Jihad terrorists near Rafiach. There is no official confirmation from the IDF pertaining to the latter at this time.
