Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has informed Moshe Davidovich, head of the Mateh Asher Regional Council, that a solution to combat the drone threat from Hezbollah will be implemented shortly. This announcement comes as concerns grow over the effectiveness of Hezbollah's first-person view drones, which operate using fiber-optic cables, making them resistant to electronic countermeasures. Alongside this defense initiative, Netanyahu revealed the government's decision to allocate five billion shekels for security enhancements and tax benefits aimed at supporting residents and businesses in Northern Israel. The funding includes an immediate budget of 105 million shekels for urgent protection needs, with a further six billion shekels earmarked for long-term protective measures. These decisions were made during a budget meeting that faced criticism for low attendance, as many ministers were at a private event. Davidovich expressed gratitude for the funding but stressed that the measures must ensure the safety of local residents amidst the ongoing conflict with Hezbollah.
