How Ukraine's drone war became Hezbollah's new battlefield blueprint

FPV drones have transformed warfare in Europe, bled the Russian military and turned entire cities into apocalyptic hunting grounds. The use of fiber-optic cables for navigation has made the “buzzing bomb” immune to electronic warfare. Hezbollah relied for years on its anti-tank missile array, but attrition in the war and the blocking of smuggling routes have led it to adopt the new weapon.

Iranian-backed and battle-tested: Inside Hezbollah's strategic weapon

As Israel withdrew from Lebanon in 2000, the terrorist organization continued developing its drone array, which was identified as a weapon that could undermine the balance of power against Israel. The man who established it, at the height of the war in Syria, was senior Hezbollah official Hassan al-Laqqis. According to reports, Iran's Quds Force even provided training. This is how the drones work, and how they changed the rules of the game.

On Mount Dov, the IDF pushes Hezbollah back

At the summit of Mount Dov, Lt. Col. G., deputy commander of the IDF’s Mountain Brigade, acknowledges: “Before the massacre, we didn’t operate here.” Since then, however, Israel has shifted from defense to offense, culminating in the capture of the Hermon ridge and control over the entire area. The next step, the Druze officer hopes, will be to annex his brethren across the Syrian border.

Why does Hezbollah still stand?

Although Hezbollah's top ranks have lost many senior figures and field commanders in the military apparatus, the organization's leadership echelon has remained almost entirely untouched. According to a Lebanese researcher who spoke with Israel Hayom, that is the main reason the government in Beirut is reluctant to confront the terrorist organization over disarming it.

Will Joseph Aoun bring peace to Lebanon?

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun may be willing to reach an agreement with Israel, but not for the reasons Israelis assume. Like other actors in the region, he understands that Israel cannot be defeated on the battlefield. But on the diplomatic front, Israel suffers from inconsistency and often ends up accepting US dictations. If Israel wants real peace, it must insist on addressing the roots of the conflict: Hezbollah's weapons, reforming the Lebanese army and dismantling the Palestinian camps in Lebanon.

The front where Israel is suffering a troubling defeat

By every objective measure, Israel and the US did not lose to Iran. In fact, they inflicted enormous damage on the ayatollahs' regime. But on another front, Israel is in troubling shape: American public opinion, where the share of supporters has fallen to its lowest point in nearly 40 years.
