Yediot reported Tuesday that Gazan Arabs launched a Strela-2 surface to air missile at an IAF aircraft on Friday, but the missile missed its target.

The IDF beleives that Gaza has a number of these missiles stockpiled, but haven’t used them due to fear of an escalated IDF response.

The missile systems were reportedly smuggled in from Libya.
