Debka reports that the strike may have been by Egyptian forces in the immediate area which did not want to make their job of clearing the Sinai harder and so pointed to Israel.

Also this is the first time anyone has reported that Israeli drones are armed.

The target in question were heavy launch vehicles carrying Iranian-made M-75 missiles known as Fajr-5 aquired somehow by the Salafists from Hamas.

Israelis pioneered the RPV drone first used in 1982. Israel has had armed drones long before the US started using them in 2001. They are ahead of the ballgame here. Nothing new. Israel uses them all the time for surveillance and attack.
