Beirut, April 30 (RHC)-- Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen television network has cited Israeli media reports as saying that a drone fell on the roof of a home in Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza, and was delivered by locals to the headquarters of the resistance movement Hamas.

Some Palestinian media outlets had a different narrative.  They said the drone was shot down by resistance forces while flying over Gaza.  The drone’s downing comes amid tensions in Jerusalem al-Quds that have triggered protests in the occupied West Bank and Gaza in support of the Palestinians in the holy occupied city.

On Monday, Israeli sources said a mortar shell was fired from Gaza towards a settlement in the occupied territories.  It followed the firing of more than 40 rockets from the Israeli-blockaded coastal sliver into the occupied lands.

Two Palestinian resistance factions – Fatah’s al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine’s Abu Ali Brigades – claimed responsibility for the rocket fire.  Earlier this year, the Jerusalem Post said “Israeli military drones are dropping like flies” in the Lebanese and Palestinian territories.
