JERUSALEM, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday vowed to disarm the Palestinian Hamas movement and demilitarize the Gaza Strip, saying his government would continue to pursue remaining militant cells despite a ceasefire that took effect last month.

"Some Hamas cells continue to operate in parts of Gaza that we control, and we are systematically eliminating them," Netanyahu told ministers, referring to areas in the cities of Rafah and Khan Younis in the southern Palestinian enclave.

"The disarmament of Hamas and the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip are our guiding principles," the Israeli prime minister stated, adding that this is a goal he has agreed upon with US President Donald Trump. "If this cannot be achieved one way, it will be done another way," Netanyahu declared.

He said the Israeli military would continue to protect troops still in Gaza. He clarified that Israel would notify its American allies of the operations, "but would not seek their permission." The prime minister emphasized that Israel would not compromise its "supreme responsibility for security."

Netanyahu's statements come as the White House is working to maintain the ceasefire and secure the release of all remaining hostages, even as Israeli strikes continue, albeit at a reduced intensity.

HARBIN, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) — China's new T1400 unmanned helicopter successfully completed its maiden flight, marking a major step toward the "ton-class" era for China's low-altitude technology.

The T1400 helicopter was developed by Harbin United Aircraft Technology Co., Ltd., which is part of United Aircraft Group, headquartered in Shenzhen, southern China.

The aircraft recently completed a series of maneuvers during its maiden test flight in Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang Province in northeastern China. These maneuvers included hovering, route flight, and precision landing.

According to Tian Gangyin, Chairman of the United Aircraft Group, the T1400 helicopter, with a maximum takeoff weight of 1,400 kg, represents a breakthrough in both payload capacity and flight endurance, eliminating the long-standing limitations of industrial drones in these two respects.

The T1400 helicopter has a maximum payload of 650 kg, equivalent to the weight of over 10 adults, and a maximum flight endurance of over 8 hours. Designed for operation in extreme conditions, it operates in temperatures ranging from minus 40 degrees Celsius to 55 degrees Celsius, reaches a service ceiling of 6,500 meters, and can withstand strong winds.

Designed and manufactured in Harbin, the T1400 is primarily designed to serve the vast farmland, forests, lakes and rivers of Heilongjiang Province, and can also be used in agriculture, logistics and emergency rescue, said Tian Gangyin, adding that the aircraft will be deployed nationwide in the future.

As a major grain-producing region and forest base in China, Heilongjiang Province has become a key market for the development of the low-altitude economy. In recent years, it has implemented a number of measures to accelerate the development of this sector, aiming to achieve breakthroughs in low-altitude airspace reform and create application scenarios with regional characteristics by 2027.

China's low-altitude economy received a significant boost after its inclusion in the 2024 Government Work Report, where it was identified as a new growth driver.

The sector's market size is expected to reach 1.5 trillion yuan (about $211.6 billion) in 2025, and could reach 3.5 trillion yuan in 2035, according to a forecast by the Civil Aviation Administration of China. -0-
