Did Israhell just ruin Britain's Christmas?

As some might be aware, a days-long drone threat at Britain's Gatwick Airport, just before Christmas, disrupted Christmas-travel flights, and ruined the lives of many, and, surely, worried everyone in Britain.  https://duckduckgo.com/?q=gatwick+drone+ruins+Christmas&atb=v116-4_f&ia=web

The police arrested an innocent couple, who were subsequently released.  https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Gatwick+couple+drone+arrest+release&atb=v116-4_f&ia=news

Guess what?  Israhell has something called Drone Dome, which they will be glad to sell Gatwick, Heathrow, and any and all airports that, surely, will want it, after what just happened at Gatwick.  https://duckduckgo.com/?q=gatwick+drone+dome+israel&atb=v116-4_f&ia=web

Just another one of those damned cohen-cidences.

Israhell's gotta keep up the pressure, so Britain - and every other country, soon enough - spends the shekels to protect themselves from drones - even police drones - that are working for Israhell.

Heathrow and Gatwick reportedly spent millions of pounds on "military-grade anti-drone equipment" after the previous drone sighting scandal, which is still being investigated. The December incidents prompted public uproar when it was revealed that some of the drone sightings in the area could actually have been police drones.

Departures at London's Heathrow have come to a standstill after a "drone sighting" in the area, the airport has said on Twitter.
The incident comes less than a month after suspected drone sightings caused chaos at Gatwick Airport, forcing flights to be cancelled and disrupting travel plans for 140,000 people.

"We are responding to a drone sighting at Heathrow," Europe's busiest airport said in a statement. "As a precautionary measure, we have stopped departures while we investigate. We apologise to passengers for any inconvenience this may cause."

The latest drone-related chaos has already sparked some eye-rolling on social media.

Responding to possible crisis, British Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said he had spoken to the Home Secretary and Defence Secretary and confirmed that the military are "preparing to deploy equipment used at Gatwick should it prove necessary."

No!  Say it ain't so!

Police believe Gatwick drone drama 'may have been inside job'

A major drone scare at the UK's Gatwick Airport in December which caused hours of delays and affected 140,000 Christmas travelers, may have been carried out by insiders with access to crucial information, according to officials.
The airport's chief operating officer, Chris Woodroofe, has revealed that investigations into the incident suggest the attacker had inside information into how authorities were attempting to deal with the crisis.

Woodroofe explained that the drone briefly reappeared every time Gatwick officials attempted to restart operations at the airport, but conceded that their information could have been gathered via a visual or radio link, or even online "where much of this information is readily available."

"It was clear the drone operators had a link in to what was going on at the airport," Woodroofe told the BBC.

Sussex Police took the accusation one step further, however, telling the program that the possibility of an "insider" being behind the attack was a "credible line of inquiry."

The UK's second largest airport was closed for a total of 33 hours between December 19 and 21, 2018, affecting about 1,000 flights and causing travel chaos. Neither the drone nor its operator were ever captured, and a since-revoked comment by police that there may have never been a drone at all has called the entire incident into question. Some critics also questioned why the drone was never pictured or filmed by one of the eyewitnesses.

However, claims that the drone never actually existed were quickly dismissed by the airport's operating officer, who cited over 100 sightings by airport workers – some of whom have decades of airfield experience and "know the implications of reporting a drone sighting," Woodroofe insisted.

Police confirmed to the BBC they had amassed 130 separate credible drone sightings by a total of 115 people, all but six of whom were professionals, including police officers, security personnel, air traffic control staff, and pilots.

A couple arrested shortly after the incident on suspicion of orchestrating it were released without charge, with police saying they were not involved in the drone scare.
