Israel is breaking international law in Gaza, Britain has said for the first time, as David Lammy accused Binyamin Netanyahu’s government of “starving children”.

Their lack of a motor means they produce no heat signature, making them difficult for conventional air defense systems to detect and intercept, Der Spiegel notes. »
