Israeli drones broadcasted threatening messages over Hebron's City of Yatta, leaving residents in a constant state of fear.

An Israeli drone was seen playing recorded messages on repeat over the City of Yatta in Hebron, Palestine. 

The message conveyed a sinister warning: "We are on the way. Whoever is holding a weapon or even a stone, we will reach you. Residents, watch out. We can see you everywhere. We are coming for you."

This dystopian incident left residents in a state of terror, compounding the distress caused by a week of unrelenting Israeli attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank. In addition, Gaza bore the brunt of a relentless barrage of Israeli bombs and missiles, resulting in the tragic loss of thousands of Palestinians.

The distressing video circulated on social media platforms, with many branding it a form of "psychological horror". The footage prompted a widespread call for an immediate cessation of Israeli attacks on Palestinians and immediate medical and humanitarian aid for people in Gaza.
