CBS This Morning correspondent Holly Williams reported on a drone fired from Gaza that the Israeli military shot down Monday, the first time Palestinian militants have used such technology.
The online report noted "the use of unmanned aircraft with an offensive capacity could potentially inflict significant casualties - something the rockets from Gaza have failed to do, largely because of the success of the military's 'Iron Dome' air defense system in shooting them down."
The drone came from Gaza and was shot down near the southern city of Ashdod, the military said. It did not say what the drone was carrying.
Hamas tweeted Monday that it had "deployed a number of pilotless drones into Israel, adding that, "Our drones carried out specific reconnaissance missions" over the War Ministry in Tel Aviv.
Israeli TV was reporting there could have been at least a second drone fired toward the Jewish state.
Since the latest bout of fighting began last Tuesday, militants have fired nearly 1,000 rockets at Israel, causing some injuries and damage to property, but no fatalities among Israelis. By contrast, say Palestinian officials, 172 Palestinians have died as a result of Israel's air attacks.
