Israeli Army Releases Footage Showing Interception Of Iranian Drones Carrying Weapons To Gaza

On March 7, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) declassified footage showing the interception of two alleged Iranian drones carrying weapons.

The drones were shot down by F-35i fighter jets from the Israeli Air Force’s 140th Golden Eagle Squadron and 116th Lions of the South Squadron outside Israel airspace on 15 March 2021. This was the first time F-35is have been used to take down a drone. The incident was only made public very recently.

“The interceptions of the UAVs were carried out prior to them entering Israeli airspace in coordination with neighboring countries,” the military said in a statement released on March 6, without naming the countries due to security concerns.

According to the #IDF, the two drones were on a secret mission to deliver weapons to the Hamas Movement in the Gaza Strip.

The military said that the drones were of the Shahed-197 type, an Iranian copy of the US highly-secretive Lockheed Martin RQ-170 Sentinel stealthy drone. Using electronic warfare, the Iranian military took control of an RQ-170 and managed to landed intact on 5 December 2011.

The Shahed197 has a flight range of 2,000 kilometers, a top speed of 200 kilometers per hour, and a wingspan of seven meters. The drone can carry a payload of dozens of kilograms, per the IDF.

Photos of the drones’ wreckage released by the IDF show several handguns, ammunition and a number of unidentified vials.

A third Iranian drone carrying weapons was reportedly downed around the same time by the IDF using electronic warfare means.

This was not the first time Israel has accused Iran of using drones to deliver weapons to its allies. Last November Israel accused Iran launching a drone from Syria into Israeli airspace on 10 February of 2018, to ferry explosives to cells in the West Bank. The drone was also a copy of the RQ-170.

The Israeli revelation came amid reports of a near international agreement on the relaunch of the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal. #TelAviv appears to be using the incident to mount some pressure on the ongoing nuclear talks.

In what appears to be another attempt to hinder the talks, two officers of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were killed in an Israeli attack that targeted positions in the suburbs of the Syrian capital, Damascus, on March 7. The guards vowed to make Israel “pay” for the attack.

One of the most obsequious displays of subservience to Zionism I have ever seen.

#Israel is an infanticidal settler state birthed out of genocide.

⚡️🇿🇦 🇮🇱⚖️ ICC Decision on Genocide⚡️

💬 "#Israel's Actions in #Gaza may constitute genocide with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a specific ethnic group - the Palestinians", the International Criminal Court said.

❗️The Court previously rejected #Israel's genocide claims.

📌 PS: Accordingly, #US complicity with #Israel, within the logic of the ICC, is complicity in the genocide of the Palestinians.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🏴 Is #Ukraine or #IS guilty of the #Crocus Massacre⚡️

🔸There will almost certainly not be a universally accepted end result. To the facts:

1️⃣ The perpetrators were caught in the #Bryasnk region and most likely wanted to flee to #Ukraine.
2️⃣ The #US knew about attack planning and issued a travel warning for their citizens.
3️⃣ #IS terrorist involvement was almost immediately claimed by Western entities without providing any evidence, especially without #IS source.
4️⃣ The #IS Terror Organisation itself only commented in detail yesterday and took responsibility. (Video👆)
5️⃣ #The investigation is ongoing!

❗️According to the current state of knowledge, prima facie evidence (at first sight) suggests that #Ukraine is involved. IS involvement has not been proven.

🔹The belated admission by IS doesn't change anything, because IS is also known for being free riders.

🔹Even if #IS were involved, that wouldn't rule out #Ukraine or the #US or #UK being involved.
🟡#IS is pragmatic and its main enemy is #Russia. Let us remember that #IS only began to falter in #Syria when #Russia intervened and destroyed its economic structure and stopped oil sales to #Turkey by bombing oil convoys.
🟡The #US are also pragmatic and changes partners as it sees fit. Osama Bin Laden and Sadam Hussein are just 2 examples. During the Battle of Mosul in #Iraq, the #US allowed #IS troops to withdraw towards #Syria without bombing them. A short time later, Palmyra was retaken by #IS.
🟡#IS militants were treated in #Israel and some are fighting on the side of #Ukraine.

❗️Thus, there are no fixed fronts. Cooperation between #Ukraine and #IS and also the participation of the #US or #UK are conceivable.

⚖️ In Roman law, Ukraine must shatter the proof prima facie. The statements available so far are not suitable for this.

🔸These are the core facts. I warn against getting bogged down in details. For example, it is completely irrelevant whether the perpetrators behaved like #IS militants or not, since #IS now recruits anyone who is halfway suitable. The fact that the #US knew about planned terrorist attacks is a fact that is completely unsuitable for drawing any further conclusions.

📌 In conclusion, the further investigations have to be awaited and #Ukraine is forced to act in the current situation because "prima facie" is against it.
