Iran’s arsenal now includes drones with extraordinary capabilities. These drones targeted Israel’s main air defense system, Iron Dome. Drones have given Iran-backed militias a lethal option.
Israel has installed a defense system against airstrikes, but has paid little attention to the threat of drones. According to a report by Al-Arabiya, Fabian Heinz, a researcher at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, says that Hezbollah’s drones are a great threat that should be taken seriously. Tel Aviv has paid less attention to managing drones.
Israeli army officers have explained that Israel’s air defense system has proved weak in intercepting hundreds of drones launched from Lebanon.
It is very difficult to intercept drones launched near the border because of the short response time.
