The Israel Police is set to deploy drones in southern Israel as part of a new initiative aimed at combating crime, particularly following a successful trial run near Rahat. Chief Superintendent Haim Bublil confirmed that this initiative is funded by the National Security Ministry and has received approval from National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Police Commissioner Danny Levi. The drones are designed for vertical takeoff and landing, capable of flying for extended distances while equipped with advanced surveillance technology for both day and night operations. This deployment aims to enhance the police's ability to gather real-time intelligence and provide continuous situational awareness, allowing for covert operations against criminal activities. Bublil stated, 'In the fight against crime, we are required to deploy all operational and technological capabilities at our disposal.' He stressed the importance of advancing and adopting new technologies to improve police effectiveness. The message to criminals is clear: 'There is nowhere to hide,' as the police are determined to respond swiftly and decisively to any violent actions.
