Gaza militants shoot down Israeli army drone: sources
Gaza/Xinhua/UNI Militants in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip shot down on Sunday a drone that belongs to the Israeli army, Palestinian security sources in Gaza said.
The sources told the Hamas-run Satellite Television Channel of al-Aqsa that airs from Gaza said a "Quadcopter" drone that belongs to the Israeli army was shot down in the air of the Gaza Strip.
The TV station didn't give any more details but quoted the sources as saying that militants opened fire and shot down the drone and then confiscated it.
A 27-year-old Palestinian was killed early on Saturday and two others wounded in intensive Israeli warplanes airstrikes on military facilities and posts that belong to the Islamic Hamas movement's armed wing and the Islamic Jihad.
The Israeli airstrikes on Gaza Strip military facilities came shortly after militants launched a barrage of rockets from the coastal enclave into southern Israel; no injuries were reported, according to the Israeli media.
