Israeli army struggling to counter Hezbollah drone attacks
Israeli army struggling to counter Hezbollah drone attacks The Israeli army is facing mounting pressure over its inability to stop Hezbollah’s armed drone attacks, Al Jazeera reported. The drones have killed Israeli soldiers occupying southern Lebanon as well as troops in northern Israel. Earlier today, the Israeli military announced the death of another soldier in a drone attack. Israel has responded with intensified and disproportionate force, as it appears to have limited options for countering the drone threat.
