Gaza: The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, announced Tuesday evening that it had seized an Israeli surveillance drone hovering over the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

According to Anadolu Agency, the group stated in a post on Telegram that they had "taken control of a Zionist reconnaissance drone of the type Matrice 350 RTK while it was carrying out multiple intelligence missions in the skies over Khan Younis." No further details were provided by the group, while the Israeli military has not yet commented on the incident.

The incident comes amidst ongoing tensions, as the Israeli army resumed its assault on Gaza on March 18, disrupting a ceasefire and prisoner swap agreement established on Jan. 19. Since October 2023, over 51,200 Palestinians have been killed in the enclave, with most victims reported to be women and children.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Additionally, Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice related to its actions in the region.
