Learning from Ukraine, Hezbollah is now using fibre-optic drones to hit Israel
Six weeks into an April 2026 ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, Hezbollah has deployed fibre-optic first-person view (FPV) drones adapted from Ukrainian warfare tactics to target Israeli military positions and civilian communities near the Lebanese border, killing 8 Israeli soldiers and 1 civilian contractor to date. Israeli defense officials are accelerating development of anti-drone countermeasures, while political and military leaders have threatened expanded strikes on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon in response to the drone attacks.
