Hezbollah Drones Kill Israeli Soldier In Vehicle, Force IDF Out Of Town (Videos)

Hezbollah’s drone units continue to escalate attacks on the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), inflicting more human and material losses, mainly using fiber optic-guided first-person view (FPV) suicide quadcopters.

On May 25, the IDF acknowledged that one of its soldiers was killed a day earlier in southern Lebanon in a drone attack carried out by the group.

The soldier, a combat engineer in the 601st Battalion, was killed when a drone struck an armored personnel carrier (APC) that he was driving. The IDF is investigating whether the drone managed to penetrate the vehicle, according to the Kan public broadcaster. Another soldier was seriously wounded in the incident.

The 601st Battalion is assigned to the 401st Armored Brigade. While Hebrew media said that the soldier was killed in an APC, the unit actually operates combat engineering vehicles (CEV), namely the Puma CEV and the Namer CEV. The vehicle was likely one of these two.

The deadly drone attack was of dozens that targeted the IDF in southern Lebanon and northern Israel in the last few days.

On May 24 alone, Hezbollah released six videos showing fiber optic-guided FPV suicide quadcopters hitting a Merkava Mk 4M main battle tank, two Namer APCs, a THMS communication and command vehicle, a digger, and a gathering of troops.

The group also released a video showing a series of ten drone attacks that targeted IDF deployment sites in the town of Rshaf in southern Lebanon between May 8 and 21. The strikes hit two Merkava Mk 4M tanks, a Humvee armored vehicle, a Land Rover Wolf vehicle, two HEMTT fuel trucks, and a communication antenna.

The coordinated attacks caused some serious losses, eventually forcing Israeli troops to pull out of the town, even leaving behind some equipment.

Fiber optic-guided FPV suicide quadcopters, which are cheap and easy to produce, have been a gamechanger for Hezbollah.

The IDF is said to be working on a solution to the threat posed by Hezbollah’s fiber optic-guided FPV suicide quadcopters, but defense officials have cautioned that a system to counter such drones will not come soon, and will not provide complete protection.

For the time being, Israeli troops are using simple counter measures like mesh nets and their assault rifles to counter the threat, and they are clearly not working out well.

hey @ the real “the narrative” – someone doesn’t like you very much, hence the fake posts using your name. you are doing a great job if they need to impersonate and attack you so much! keep it up!

seen the russians needing 5-10 drones for reliable destruction of one single tank, the hezbollah still has potential to increase its success rate. the last video shows a few multi-tap-strikes with objective control by the follow up drones. this is how its done.

run the bums out of town. make south lebanon a joo free zone. bbq any joo squatter and kiddie killer who doesn’t take the hint and skedaddles out pronto.

the picture does however highlight the fact that on the outside they are seemingly like us, but inside is a whole different story – very sick and evil and extreme. it helps to awaken people about the zionist wolves dressed as sheep.

one less sicko psycho kiddie killer.
