Hezbollah has been actively using first-person view (FPV) drones equipped with night-vision technology to target Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers in southern Lebanon, as reported by Israel's public broadcaster KAN News. The latest incident occurred on Saturday evening, resulting in injuries to two soldiers, one of whom sustained moderate injuries. This tactic marks a continuation of Hezbollah's strategy to conduct drone strikes during nighttime operations, a method they have previously employed. Despite the Israeli defense industry being aware of the potential threat posed by such drone technology, the military has struggled to effectively counter these attacks. The ongoing drone strikes have not only wounded soldiers but have also resulted in fatalities, including injuries to senior officers, such as the commander of the 401st Armored Brigade. The use of advanced technology by Hezbollah underscores the evolving challenges faced by the IDF in maintaining security in the region and highlights the increasing sophistication of militant tactics.
