The United States military is reportedly operating surveillance drones over the Gaza Strip to observe the ongoing ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. According to a report by the New York Times, these flights indicate that the United States seeks independent information about the situation in Gaza. The drones are said to support the work of the newly formed United States-Israel Civil-Military Coordination Center, based in southern Israel. Officials from both countries have confirmed that the surveillance is being conducted with Israel's approval and is focused on monitoring developments on the ground.
