Israel is currently investigating how a Hezbollah drone managed to evade its air defenses and carry out a deadly attack on a military base, resulting in the loss of four soldiers. Experts suggest that Hezbollah, backed by Iran, is employing a strategy of using cheap and hard-to-detect suicide drones to overwhelm Israel.
Drones are considered a challenging threat for Israel due to their cost-effectiveness and operational simplicity. Orna Mizrahi, a senior research fellow at the Israeli Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), explained that drones are small, lightweight, and have a minimal radar signature, making them difficult to detect and intercept using Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system.
