Iran unveils its largest, super-heavy drone Gaza, named in honour of resistance against Israel | N18G

Iran has unveiled its largest-ever drone, named "Gaza," in honor of the Palestinian enclave devastated by over a year of war. The drone, which can carry up to 12 bombs, was inspected by Major General Hossein Salami and Amir Ali Hajizadeh of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). It is primarily intended for border operations. The Gaza Strip, home to 2.3 million Palestinians before the conflict, has suffered massive destruction following 15 months of fighting between Israel and Hamas. Israel launched its campaign in Gaza after Hamas carried out an attack on October 7, 2023, killing 1,200 Israelis and taking over 250 hostages. Since then, Israeli military actions have resulted in the deaths of over 47,000 Palestinians, according to local health authorities. The unveiling of the "Gaza" drone reflects Iran’s ongoing support for Hamas and its commitment to strengthening its military capabilities amid the ongoing conflict.
