In a statement, the Palestinian faction said that the suicide drone, dubbed “Shehab,” was used in an attack on an Israeli naval gas platform off the coast of Gaza Strip on May 12. As a result of the attack, production was halted at the rig.

Several Shehab suicide drones were launched by the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades at Israeli military gatherings in the vicinity of the Gaza Strip on May 13.

Israeli sources confirmed that four to five drones were launched from Gaza. At least one was successfully intercepted by the Israeli Air Force, which released a video of the encounter.
