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.



I hate it when articles talk about some video and they don’t include the fucking video in the article. WTF?
Yeah, fuck those “news” sites that don’t even let you see the damn news. I was in the same position and did some searching and found the video: https://www/ (dot) mediaspecial (dot) org/sound/files/video/asf/2026/ope246.mp4
I found this video link on Hezbollah’s official website, and the website the video’s hosted on seems to be affiliated with Hezbollah. If you live in a Western country, or any country that considers Hezbollah to be a “terrorist” organisation, I recommend opening the link in the Tor Browser.
Here are some screenshots:
As an aside, who’s logo is that in the bottom left? It’s rad.
That’s the logo Hezbollah uses specifically for military videos.
Every time
Found the video, see my comment at https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/43144559/20642664 for the link.
