Was surprised to actually see an IAF jet ( couldn't tell if it was F16 or F15 ) on the Reuters Live feed over Gaza. Popping lots of flares before climbing away. Intrigued to know what the air defence threat is from Hamas. I believe they do have SA7 and 9K38 Igla manpad systems.
Not sure how much of a threat they pose to modern fast jets but certainly more than just AK-47's
