IDF Halts Drone Use in Gaza After Fatal Incident, Extends Ban
The Israeli military has prohibited all units from using attack drones in the Gaza Strip for the upcoming week, until October 4, as a precautionary measure following a serious security incident last week. The commander of the Ground Forces issued the directive, which aims to prevent further mishaps while an investigation into the circumstances of a drone explosion continues. The ban was initially put in place for 48 hours on Friday and has now been extended.
The investigation is focused on the explosion of a drone in Gaza last week, which resulted in the deaths of reservist Master Sergeants Nadav Kalai and Ofek Moalem. The commander of the Ground Forces is heading a team of experts examining the incident. Following a situation assessment, the IDF stated that starting next Sunday, brigades may resume using attack drones if necessary and after reporting on their deployment, pending the ongoing assessment.
