Inexpensive fiber-optic drones are challenging Israel’s high-tech defenses, shifting the military balance in the Middle East.

A recent video showing an explosive-laden drone striking an Israeli Iron Dome battery couldn’t have been more symbolic: Israel’s famous air-defense system, which cost billions of euros, looked powerless against a small aircraft that cost a few hundred euros.

While the video’s authenticity has not yet been verified, experts believe it is genuine.

The footage was published about a week ago by Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based pro-Iranian militia, which Germany, the US and several Sunni Arab states have classified as a terrorist organization.

The drone strike, if genuine, would mark propaganda victory for Hezbollah and reveal a significant vulnerability in Israel’s military capabilities.

    none of them did,

    I legitimately don’t know what you’re referring to…

    that is why Israel is engaging in war crimes

    They were doing war crimes before they attacked Lebanon

    It feels like you understand “Israel bad” but none of the actual facts or details. That’s very dangerous because billionaires are gonna point you

    You need to understand more than “Israel bad” that’s not enough.
