Terror cell killed in drone strike on West Bank
Footage recently released shows the Israeli military using drones to eliminate a terrorist cell in the West Bank. The clip captures a group of armed terrorists detected in the Nur Shams refugee camp near Tulkarm during a counterterrorism operation conducted by the IDF last April. The army is currently investigating how the footage was made public.
In the video, a drone films four gunmen in an alley within the camp. Upon spotting the drone, the men attempt to bring it down by throwing stones, but the drone operator swiftly removes it from danger.
A second drone is dispatched to confirm their position before a third drone fires five missiles at the group, killing all its members. A fourth drone is then sent to verify the elimination of the terrorists.
The images highlight the IDF's use of drones on the modern battlefield, a strategy also employed in Gaza. Drones are used to detect and eliminate terrorists hiding in structures and tunnels.
