of the first Palestinian intifada, or uprising, Hamas was inspired by Egypt\u2019s Muslim Brotherhood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Its charter calls for the eventual destruction of Israel and the establishment of an Islamic state on the pre-1948 borders of the British Palestine Mandate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Jerusalem Post said the Israeli air force scrambled warplanes to monitor the Hamas drone, which did not cross into Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cAccording to a military source, the jets were prepared to deal with the threat, but returned to base after the air force saw there was no threat to Israeli air space,\u201d the Post website said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">An Israeli military spokesman confirmed the drone flight but would not comment on Israeli reaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On the ground, rocket and mortar launchers trundled through the rain-swept Gaza streets along with thousands of masked, black-clad and helmeted fighters of Hamas\u2019s military arm, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lorries carried larger rockets, such as the locally produced M75, which have a range of 80 kilometers, meaning they can reach Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Frogmen of the Brigades\u2019 naval commandos posed in wetsuits and other militants rappelled down the walls of a building.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Qassam spokesman Abu Obeida praised Iran for its support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cThank you to all the people and the countries, first among which is the Islamic Republic of Iran which did not skimp on money, weapons and other things and provided the resistance with rockets,\u201d he said in a speech.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">During seven weeks of war this summer between Israel and Hamas, the main power in the Gaza Strip, militants fired 3,659 rockets or mortar rounds on Israel, the Israeli army said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The army said it hit 5,226 targets in Gaza, with air strikes, shelling or tank fire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Gaza health ministry said 2,143 Palestinians were killed, nearly 70 percent of them civilians.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On the Israeli side, 73 were killed, mostly soldiers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">During the conflict the military said it shot down two Hamas drones over Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Qassam says the \u201cAbabil\u201d drone is manufactured in Gaza.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In 2012, during a previous major operation against Gaza, Israel said it had destroyed a military drone production workshop set up by Hamas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Source:
