Expert: Hizbullah Drone Over Israel "Rinky-Dink"
(CNN) Ashley Fantz - Hizbullah launched an Iranian-made drone into Israel last week. But Hizbullah has been flying drones over Israel for years, said Micah Zenko of the Council on Foreign Relations. "That it happened again is absolutely insignificant," he said. "Israel usually tracks these drones as they come across the border and often doesn't bother to shoot them down," Zenko said. "To call them rinky-dink would be polite," he said. These drones don't have "hard points," or brackets, on which ammunition can be fixed, Zenko said, but they do have the ability to conduct surveillance.
