The Israeli army has said it has “thwarted” an attack from Gaza by two drones that was claimed by Hamas, AFP reports.
The two unidentified aerial vehicles (UAVs) were “identified crossing from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory” at Nir Oz and Ein HaBesor near the border, the army said.
“Both UAVs were thwarted,” a statement added, without giving details.
Israeli media said a helicopter shot down one drone and the other was hit by a ground-fired missile.
Hamas said on its social media that “Israeli military posts” had been the target of the attack.
