Hizbullah Combines Rocket Barrages with Drone Strikes
(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - Hizbullah has ramped up the use of explosive drones. It's latest strategy blends short-range rocket barrages with drone strikes, designed to overwhelm Israel's detection and interception systems. While rockets are intercepted by Iron Dome, drones are primarily intercepted by aircraft. Hizbullah concentrates rockets on a relatively small target area while launching drones in multiple directions. New intelligence and operational capabilities developed by the Israeli Air Force enable the swift targeting of rocket launchers. While the number of direct hits from explosive drones has been rising, there are promising developments in the pipeline for better detection, interception and the ability to strike drones at their launch sites.
