"The IDF’s armed Hermes 450 and 900 drones also participated in the war with Hamas, though the Israeli government still does not officially acknowledge its armed drone capabilities." "The Hermes cannot carry heavy bombs like IDF jet fighters. However, they’re suitable for orbiting for many hours searching for targets of opportunity like Hamas rocket-launching teams and engaging them with small missiles or directing strikes by other assets." "At least two tiny drone-fired Mikholit missiles have been photographed by Palestinians. Four can be carried by a Hermes 450 drone." "Gaza health authorities meanwhile reported 39 women, 17 elderly persons (ages 60-90) and 66 children among the dead. Amongst the latter were eleven children aged 5 to 15 enrolled in the Norwegian Refugee Council’s trauma relief program." "The many dead children are in part a consequence of the IDF practice of bombing the homes of Hamas leaders. Heavy casualties also resulted from a strike targeting an “underground military structure” on al-Wahda street that killed over 40 civilians, wiping out all but a few members of three large families."
