An “unidentified drone fell” on an Egyptian hamlet near the Israeli border on Friday, injuring six persons mildly, according to the army.
The drone went down in “a building next to Taba hospital” in the Red Sea town of the same name, which is located over the border from the Israeli resort of Eilat, according to an army spokesperson.
The state-affiliated television station AlQahera News in Egypt earlier on Friday claimed that “a rocket” had fallen on Taba “as part of the current escalation in Gaza.”
A hospital annex in the Red Sea town was struck by a rocket, according to witnesses who spoke to AFP. The town is located close to an Israeli border, around 200 kilometers (124 miles) south of Egypt’s border with the Gaza Strip.
Pictures of wrecked buildings and blown-up cars were making the rounds on the internet and in Egyptian media.
According to official Israeli numbers, Egypt has been a major mediator in the crisis that resulted from Hamas’ October 7 raid on Israel, which killed over 1,400 people—mostly civilians—and kidnapped over 220 more.
According to the health ministry in the Hamas-ruled Palestinian territory, over 7,000 individuals have died as a result of Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, the majority of them civilians.
The Israeli army has been using drones to attack Hamas and for surveillance of Gaza, while Hamas and other armed groups, which have fired barrages of rockets towards Israel, have deployed their own drones.
