Germany has offered more support to Israel in its fight against the Islamist militant group Hamas, which has launched a large-scale attack on the Jewish state.
The drones are part of a lease agreement between Germany and Israel, which allows the German armed forces, the Bundeswehr, to use five of the unmanned aerial vehicles for training purposes in Israel. Two of the drones are currently in Israel, where German soldiers are being trained to operate them.
Pistorius said that Germany was ready to help Israel in other ways, including delivering humanitarian aid if needed.
