A new report claims that dozens of drones have been successfully smuggled into the Gaza Strip from both Egypt and Israel over the past several months. The smuggled drones add to a pipeline The Zioneer has tracked: as we reported on June 20, some 170 drones were smuggled from Israel into Gaza by Bedouin gangs over 18 months; and on June 27 morning, we noted that 117 smuggling attempts were recorded in the past six months, of which 28 succeeded. The figures underscore the persistent challenge of drone smuggling despite interdiction efforts, though the report does not specify what the drones carried, whether they were used by Hamas or other groups, or the exact time window. The information remains unverified beyond the report itself.
