According to data cited by military correspondent Doron Kadosh, 117 drone-smuggling attempts into the Gaza Strip were recorded over the past six months — 89 were foiled and 28 succeeded. It is not known what the drones carried, the report stated.
Military correspondent Doron Kadosh reported on Wednesday morning data showing 117 drone-smuggling attempts into the Gaza Strip over the past six months, of which 89 were intercepted and 28 succeeded. What cargo the drones carried remains unknown.
As The Zioneer reported at 08:24, this adds detail to an earlier bulletin — already SAME-THREAD — that noted defense officials are alarmed by the trend. That report cited IDF data on the same 117 attempts and 28 successful crossings, and assessed most of the 28 drones reached Hamas. The new item names the source explicitly and confirms the figures without the earlier attribution to 'Army Radio.'
A wider background context, reported in June 2026, suggested approximately 170 drones were smuggled by Bedouin gangs over 18 months — a broader pipeline that this six-month count partially overlaps. The discrepancy between the overlapping periods and totals has not yet been formally reconciled in the source messages.
