Hezbollah adopts a new weapon: Fiber-optic drones, used widely in the war in Ukraine
Hezbollah has launched fiber-optic drones against northern Israel, a technology widely used in the war in Ukraine, which are hard to detect and potentially lethal. Israel is working on technological solutions to counter the threat, but experts say the drones are difficult to intercept due to their small size and short flight path.
Hezbollah has launched small drones controlled with fiber-optic cables against northern Israel. These drones, used widely in the war in Ukraine, are hard to track and potentially lethal. They are not controlled remotely, making them immune to electronic jamming. An Israeli military official said the drones are made locally and are easy to produce, requiring an off-the-shelf drone, explosives, and transparent wire. Israel is working on technological solutions to counter the threat and is taking measures on the ground to defend troops, such as adding nets and cages to military vehicles. Experts say the drones are difficult to intercept due to their small size and short flight path.
