Sirens sounded in the Gaza border town of Nir Oz over the suspected infiltration of a hostile aircraft from the Strip on Monday.

Subsequently, Hamas released a statement on its Arabic-language Telegram channel regarding the incident.

"The Al-Qassam Brigades have launched two suicide attack drones, one of which targeted the 107 Squadron, known as the "Orange Tail Knights," belonging to the Air Force and stationed at the Hatzorim Base," Hamas wrote. "The other drone targeted the command headquarters of the Sinai Brigade within the occupying forces located at the Tseelim Military Base."

Hamas also released a propaganda film on their Telegram channel featuring the drones being launched into Israel.
