Israeli soldiers in Gaza claimed they had uncovered equipment being used by Hamas to develop precision-guided missiles, the military said Sunday.
Such technology would represent a dangerous upgrade to the group’s weapons capabilities, the Times of Israel said.
The announcement came as fighting in Gaza entered a third month since war broke out on October 7.
The Hamas group’s arsenal of projectiles has been thought to be primarily made up of unguided rockets, with only anti-tank guided missiles and small explosive drones — used at short range — possessing guided capabilities, along with explosives-laden underwater drones and shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles.
