Israel Lebanon war: How Hezbollah’s $4,000 fibre-optic drones are challenging the superior Israeli military
Hezbollah has used fibre-optic drones to attack Israeli forces, killing two soldiers and one civilian contractor, despite a ceasefire in place since mid-April. The drones, costing between a few hundred dollars to $4,000, are challenging Israel's superior military due to their low-tech and hard-to-detect nature.
The Israeli military has confirmed the deaths of two soldiers and one civilian contractor in explosive drone attacks. Hezbollah is using fibre-optic drones connected to operators through cables, making them hard to detect. The drones cost between a few hundred dollars to $4,000 and are being manufactured in Lebanon. Israel's defence ministry has issued a public call to counter these drones. Israeli forces are implementing protective measures such as nets and barriers on military vehicles and studying developments from the war in Ukraine.
