Iran is celebrating the war and believes Hamas won. It likely advised Hamas on when to start the war and encouraged it to target Israeli air bases and airports, as well as to test Iron Dome so that Iran could share information with Hezbollah. Iran also flew a drone into Israeli airspace near Beit She'an during the war.
Iran’s new “Gaza” drone appears to be a copy of a US Predator or Reaper. It thus builds on the Shahed 129 which was introduced in 2012 and is also a copy of a Predator. The Shahed 129 could fly for 24 hours, Iran said.
This new drone can achieve new heights with 35 hours flight time, a range of 2,000 km and also carry bombs and hundreds of kilos of payloads, like optics or other things. Iran provides these claims mostly to show it can threaten Israel. The range would mean it can fly from Iran to Israel and back, or land in Iraq and Syria. This is a direct threat to Israel.
