Israel Thwarts Attempt To Smuggle Commercial Drones Into Gaza

An anonymous reader writes: The Jerusalem Post reports that the Shin Bet intelligence agency recently foiled an attempt to smuggle commercial multicopter drones into Gaza, Israel authorities announced on Sunday. The inspectors stopped an Israeli truck carrying toys at the Kerem Shalom Crossing, where drones of various types and sizes carrying high quality cameras were found. Additional attempts to smuggle commercial drones were intercepted by the Shin Bet in recent weeks. The drones were earmarked for use by Hamas group in Gaza. Close inspection of released images reveal what seems to be a Syma X5 FPV quadcopter. Those toy-grade multirrotors have a onboard wifi camera. Once you've downloaded the streaming app to your phone you are able to connect the on board camera to your phone and use it to give you FPV footage.

    They think they have the right to things that people that are crazy and believe in invisible people in the sky aren't. I guess that's just the way of their kind. It's ironic that they're so hateful. So hateful. Some religious profess love while demanding killing. Demanding killing.

    It's easy to cause more casualties on your own side, if that's what you're after.
