Israeli military is set to add Indian-made Hermes 900 drones to its growing fleet of such aircraft. Human rights activists and defense analysts say the move will increase India's involvement in Israel's war on Gaza.
The delivery of these marches comes at a time when Israeli air strikes are hitting the city of Rafah, and the occupation army is preparing for a major attack on the densely populated urban area. The Hermes 900, known in Israel as the "Hermes 900 Kochav" or the Star, has since become the gold standard in the "medium-range, long-endurance" category.
