IDF Targets Weapon-Carrying Drones from Egypt
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - On some days, as many as 20 drones might fly across the Egyptian border into Israel from different points. Egyptian smugglers may be sending hundreds of drones per month into Israel with weapons. IDF sources have said most of the drones originate in Israel. Smugglers send them to Egypt, where they are loaded with weapons and then sent back. To counter the drones, the Iron Dome has gotten better at tracking and shooting them down, the Iron Beam is now in the mix for specific border threats, and a variety of electronic-warfare weapons are now available to down or hack and take control of enemy drones. Israel has made significant strides in setting back the drone weapons-smuggling threat from Egypt, but the battle is far from won.
