The IDF says a drone located near Kibbutz Nahal Oz shortly before 17:45 Jerusalem is an Israeli military drone. Following a review, the military determined there is no security incident. The incident remains under review. The announcement follows an earlier report that a Thai worker found an explosive drone in the area.
The Israel Defense Forces announced Monday evening that a drone discovered near Kibbutz Nahal Oz was identified as an Israeli military drone, ruling out a security incident. The military stated that the drone was located "a short while ago" and that following a review, it was determined to be an IDF drone. The incident remains under review.
The announcement comes after a report earlier Monday by The Zioneer that a Thai agricultural worker found an explosive drone in the same area. At that time, the IDF was investigating whether the drone belonged to the military or to Hamas. The new statement indicates the drone is of Israeli origin, resolving that question.
No further details have been released.
