There has been a recent uptick in drone usage by Hamas within Gaza, the military said on Thursday after an IDF soldier was moderately wounded and another lightly wounded in the northern Gaza Strip in a drone attack.

Axar.az, citing JP, reports that a Hamas terrorist cell operated a drone over IDF forces in the area and dropped a grenade on a unit positioned near buildings.

The soldiers were evacuated to the hospital, and their families were notified.

Reservist soldiers reported the rise in drone threats in recent weeks, with Hamas using drones to gather intelligence on IDF movements and to carry out attacks.
