The military wing of Gaza’s ruling Hamas terrorist organization, the Izz a-Din al-Qassam Brigades, announced it has captured an Israeli drone which crashed on the outskirts of Beit Lahiya on Saturday night.

According to the report by Iran’s Press TV, another UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) was picked up by Hamas this past July in northern Gaza.

Hamas claimed its operatives were able to dissemble the “Skylark-1″ and then rebuild the drone.

Hamas officials have not issued any comment on the report, according to the Iranian news service, which did not show any image of the UAV that was allegedly captured.

The Israel Defense Ministry and Israel Defense Forces do not comment on such reports.
