The UAV was flying at 1,700 feet, five to eight miles off the coast, when it was hit by an Israeli F-15 jet just before 11 a.m., the army said (TOI Staff: Israeli jets down drone launched from Gaza, The Times of Israel, https://www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-jets-down-drone-launched-from-gaza/).
  23. The first Iranian UAV was detected by Israeli sensors at 1:50 AM on March 13, 2021, approaching Israel from the south. The second UAV was detected at 2.12 AM, approaching Israel from the east. Minutes later, both Iranian-launched drones were shot down by Israeli Air Force (IAF) F-35s, the first acknowledged operational air-to-air kill for the fifth-generation fighter (Egozi, Arie: Israeli F-35s shot down two drones; first confirmed air-to-air kills for JSF , Breaking Defence, https://breakingdefense.com/2022/03/israeli-f-35s-shot-down-two-drones-first-confirmed-air-to-air-kills-for-jsf/).
  24. The IDF says its air defenses have shot down a Hamas drone that crossed into Israel. “The airforce tracked the drone until it was downed,” the army says. The incident comes a day after an F-16 shot down an armed Hamas “suicide drone” that tried to enter Israeli airspace (IDF shoots down Hamas drone, The Times of Israel, https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/idf-shoots-down-hamas-drone-2/).
  25. 18 May 2021. At roughly 4 a.m. on Tuesday, the Israeli Air Force downed the drone as it approached the Israeli border from Jordan (Gross, Judah Ari: Netanyahu: Drone downed by IDF this week was armed, launched by Iran, The Times of Israel, https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-drone-downed-by-idf-this-week-was-armed-launched-by-iran/).
