Hezbollah launches two explosive-laden drones at Israeli troops in southern Lebanon
Hezbollah fighters have launched a drone attack on Israeli occupation forces in southern Lebanon as the Israeli regime continues to expand its offensive deeper into the region.
According to al-Mayadeen satellite news television channel, two Hezbollah First-Person View (FPV) drones targeted Israeli troops operating at the Ali Taher Ridge in southern Lebanon overnight.
The Israeli military claimed that one of the drones was shot down by the troops, and no soldiers were injured in the attack.
The army added that it struck Hezbollah infrastructure in the Nabatieh area in response to the attack, noting that it continues to operate at the Ali Taher Ridge.
The FPV drones are small, low-cost, explosive-laden “kamikaze” drones controlled by an operator wearing goggles.
Their most critical feature is a physical fiber-optic cable (between 10 and 30 kilometers long) that connects the drone to the controller.
Because this cable transmits video and commands without any wireless signal, the drones are effectively resistant to jamming by electronic warfare systems, allowing Hezbollah to bypass the Israeli military’s advanced and very expensive defense technologies.
These drones have caused significant casualties among Israeli occupation forces by accurately targeting troop gatherings, tanks, and other military assets while evading radar and heat detection.
The combination of extremely low cost and high effectiveness represents a major tactical shift for Hezbollah, moving away from sole reliance on anti-tank guided missiles while consistently inflicting losses on the occupation regime’s military.
Since March 2, Israel has continued its offensive against Lebanon, which has claimed the lives of more than 4,000 individuals and left more than 12,000 others injured. Lebanese authorities also report that over 1 million people have been displaced.
Israel maintains its occupation of certain areas in southern Lebanon, with some regions being held for decades and others since the 2023-24 war, while its recent military aggression has further extended its reach into Lebanese territory.
