US admits using unarmed drones over Gaza

The US has recently admitted that they have been flying unarmed surveillance drones over Gaza.

The Pentagon spokesperson, Brig Gen Pat Ryder, said that the drones were being used to help in the efforts to rescue hostage.

“He mentioned that these unmanned aerial vehicle flights started after the attack carried out by Hamas on Israel on October 7th,” he said in a short statement.

The acknowledgment happened when journalists noticed unmanned flying devices (like drones) on websites that track flights.

The United States is flying small aircrafts without weapons over Gaza. They are also giving advice and help to Israel in their efforts to rescue hostages. This was said in a statement from the Pentagon on Friday.

The confirmation comes after journalists noticed MQ-9 Reapers, which are usually used by American special forces, flying around Gaza on a website called Flightradar24 that shows public flight information.

Reaper drones have been used for airstrikes in Afghanistan before, but they are mainly used for surveillance because they can stay in one area for more than 20 hours at a time.

Unnamed US military officials told the New York Times that the drones were not being used to coordinate Israeli military action in and around Gaza. Officials spoke to the newspaper and said that they were sharing information about how to rescue hostages with the Israelis.

There are more American military vehicles that are remote-controlled in the area.

On Thursday, the US Navy said that they had used a remote-controlled speed boat to shoot dangerous weapons in the ocean near the Arabian Peninsula.

The Navy said that on October 23rd, they tested firing weapons from a remote-controlled boat in the Middle East for the first time.

The US Navy is happy because this development makes their military abilities in the region even better.

Last month, the US Navy announced that it had successfully destroyed many drones and rockets that were launched from Yemen and seemed to be headed towards Israel.

The United States has sent two big warships to the eastern Mediterranean Sea. They say they sent these ships to stop the fighting between Hamas and Israel from spreading further.

The leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah gave a strong speech on Friday, warning the US not to attack their group using ships.

Hassan Nasrallah said, “We are not afraid and will never be afraid of your military ships in the Mediterranean. “
