Watan-On Sunday, the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, broadcast new scenes of helicopters used in the Battle of the “Al-Aqsa flood”.
Since the beginning of the “Al-Aqsa deluge ” operation against Israel, the Qassam Brigades have been revealing some of their military equipment, such as the Yassin 105-millimeter missile, as well as the introduction of a home-made air defense system of the MTBR-1 model, marches and home-made cannons.
A video posted by the military media of the al-Qassam Brigades showed two resistance fighters, one of whom appeared to be fixing the mini-helicopter intended to be launched. And he sticks the Yasen-105 shell under it.
The other resister was seen setting the targeting coordinates through an iPad with his hand.
Flying and targeting
The drone was seen being lifted off the ground by a controller in the middle of agricultural forests. In a later scene, the hovercraft appeared to be circling.
Upon reaching the target, the hovercraft drops the Yasin missile on a crouching tank to hit the crater of its moon and turn it into a mass of fire and smoke, before the hovercraft flies high again after carrying out its operation.
In another scene of the clip, a number of similar hovercraft appeared flying in an agricultural area, each heading to other targets.

The divisor hovercraft
The Qassam Brigades targeted an Israeli command headquarters east of Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip by a helicopter in an area previously combed and with an advanced command headquarters of the occupation army.
In this context, military expert and strategist Major General Fayez al-Doueiri said in an interview with Al Jazeera that this achievement is evidence of the existence of resistance activity in the region, which refutes the claims of occupation.
According to Major General Al-Doueiri, the AL-qassamiya hovercraft is similar to the Israeli “quadcapter” March, and is designed to drop bombs against heavy targets (tanks) or personnel, so that they can be directed and fired from anywhere.
He pointed out that the hovercraft is a small reconnaissance and attack flight, consisting of 6 propellers, launched over the targeting area, operated by Free-Drop, and was used in this operation at night.
