Hezbollah's fiber-optic drones evade Israeli defenses

Hezbollah has been deploying inexpensive drones linked by slender fiber-optic cables that extend for dozens of kilometers, creating difficulties for the Israeli military. Orna Mizrahi from the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) likened these drones to "children's toys." In less than a week, these devices have resulted in the deaths of two soldiers and one civilian contractor, with additional injuries reported, all occurring despite a ceasefire established in mid-April. Mizrahi noted that the military currently lacks a strategy to counter such low-tech explosives, as they were unprepared for this threat. Both factions continue to accuse one another of violating the ceasefire amidst ongoing violence.
