3. The desperate Israelis are putting up rudimentary netting that the drones fly right under

It's embarrassing.

A drone flew right into an open door of a field command center and seriously wounded the commander of an occupation force armored brigade. You can literally see the computers set up in the field command center before the drone goes boom.

The Times article is most concerned that the Israelis were warned about this and basically dismissed it.

It's also interesting that Hezbollah is marrying conventional guerilla tactics with the drone war. Ironically, the Ukrainians are actually studying Hezbollah on this. If these drones are as effective as they have been against the Russian conventional force, the Israelis are going to get wiped out in Lebanon. They don't have the people.
