Hezbollah published a video of the drone attack on the Israeli air defense system at the northern border. Although the IDF has not officially commented on the incident, sources in military circles do not deny the authenticity of the recording.
On Sunday evening, Hezbollah released footage of the attack, clearly showing the moment the drone hit the air defense system on the northern border. The Israel Defense Forces have not officially commented on the incident.
This was reported by bb.lv, citing the publication The Jerusalem Post.
However, sources in military circles do not deny the authenticity of the recording. Experts suggest that the attack itself occurred several days ago. The militants needed time to edit and publish the material.
FPV drones have become a real problem for Israel, as terrorists have increasingly begun to use them recently. Advanced tracking systems do not always detect the drone. Its small size helps it remain hidden, and low flight altitude also benefits the enemy.
Israeli military is currently implementing pilot programs to identify small targets. IDF officers acknowledge the complexity of the situation. The process is difficult, as the army is forced to respond in real-time, the publication states.
Back in mid-March, former head of Israel's air defense Ran Kochav warned that the army does not adequately protect its most valuable assets. This refers to the "Iron Dome," "David's Sling," and "Arrow" systems.
According to the general, if these systems are hit, the broader defense of the country could simply collapse. Now these concerns are being confirmed in practice, and Israel is forced to urgently change its approaches to protecting its own skies.
The use of small FPV drones is becoming an increasingly serious challenge even for the high-tech Israeli army, writes bb.lv. The situation shows that modern air defense systems are vulnerable to cheap drones, meaning the military urgently has to seek new methods to protect strategic assets.
