Hizbullah Used Footage from IDF Drone to Ambush Israeli Commandos
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Katz - Hizbullah succeeded in ambushing an Israeli navy commando force in 1997 in Lebanon after intercepting surveillance footage of a planned raid. In August, Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah revealed footage from what he claimed was an Israeli unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that had conducted surveillance over the area that the commandos were supposed to raid in 1997. An IDF investigation appears to have determined that Hizbullah had indeed intercepted the UAV footage and as a result was able to plan the ambush in which 11 commandos were killed. The IDF is now in the process of encrypting the signals from its drones, defense officials said Wednesday.
