Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that he had ordered a “special project” to eliminate the threat posed by Hezbollah drones, adding that it “will take time”.
It is the second time in the past 24 hours that Netanyahu has addressed the threat of Hezbollah drones, which have been repeatedly targeting Israeli army forces in southern Lebanon.
The Israeli military is facing a growing challenge in the area from fibre-optic-guided drones, described as “stealthy” due to their low visibility and difficulty to detect.
According to the military correspondent of the Hebrew website Walla, Amir Bohbot, these fibre-optic drones, also known as “wired” drones, operate through a physical connection using a thin fibre-optic cable that unspools gradually from a reel during flight. This allows commands and live video to be transmitted directly through the cable instead of radio signals, which can be jammed.
Addressing the issue in a video statement published by Yedioth Ahronoth, Netanyahu said: “I have issued instructions for a special project to eliminate the drone threat. It will take time, but we will eliminate it as well,” without providing further details.
