Israel Air Force concerned about Hezbollah drones

[SOHEIL]

Israel Air Force (IAF) says that the
regime’s overriding concern is
Hezbollah’s attempts to send more
drones into the Israeli airspace, a
report says.

The Wednesday report comes more than
two months after Hezbollah sent for the
first time a radar-evading drone deep into
the Israeli airspace.
Israel’s Air Force also said that Hezbollah
was encouraged by its first deployment of
their unmanned aerial vehicle.
The report also cited Israeli commanders
as saying that up to 50 kilograms of
explosives could be loaded onto a such
drones, which could then serve as a
rocket.
Maj. Gen. Amir Eshel said on Wednesday
Hezbollah is acquiring unmanned aerial
vehicles in different sizes, adding that
their tiny ones are much harder to spot
than the one that penetrated Israeli
airspace.
Eshel tried to downplay any future
success by Hezbollah in sending drones
into Israeli airspace, saying that "In
defense there is never a rock-hard wall
that nothing can breach."

The leader of the Lebanese resistance
movement also said that the move was
part of Hezbollah’s capabilities, adding
that Hezbollah’s drones are made in Iran
but assembled by the resistance
movement.
Hezbollah plans to send more drones over
Israel in the future, he also said.
Security analysts say the incident
indicates that the Israeli military is
incapable of handling a surprise attack
despite the numerous maneuvers
regularly conducted by the regime.
Intelligence experts contend that the
interloper should have been intercepted
from the Mediterranean as it entered the
skies of the Gaza Strip, before it was shot
down over the Yatir Forest south of
Hebron.
