Hezbollah’s Military Media released on June 20 video footage showing a recent strike on a Drone Dome counter-drone system of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
The system, which was deployed at the Metula border site, was struck by what appears to be na FPV suicide drone on June 14. The attack marked the first time Hezbollah is documented using such a weapon since the start of the ongoing confrontation with the IDF. It also shows that the Israeli system is not as effective as promoted.
Drone Dome was developed by Israel’s Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. The system is made up of different sensors including a RADA Electronic Industries RPS-42 radar, a CONTROP Precision Technologies imaging system and radio signal detectors.
The system costs a little over $3,2 million. Several systems of this type have been destroyed by Hezbollah since the beginning of the ongoing confrontation.
In the same video, an optical surveillance system installed on the main tower in Metula is seen being hit by an anti-tank guided missile.
Hezbollah and its allies began launching near-daily attacks from Lebanon against the IDF in support of the Hamas Movement and other armed factions in the Gaza Strip after the outbreak of the Israeli war on the Palestinian enclave last October.
A large part of the group attacks targeted surveillance systems installed in border sites, significantly degrading the early warning capabilities of the IDF.
So far, the clashes on the Lebanese-Israeli border have resulted in ten civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of at least 15 IDF soldiers and reservists. On the Lebanese side, more than 500 people have been killed, including 330 fighters of Hezbollah and at least 90 civilians.

the knee jerk jews running on bravado, emotions and paint fumes are in for many surprises as they decided to bang their empty skulls against the wall again. hezbollah is a state level entity, and this voids the ‘mowing the grass’ policy, which its authors admit fails in such a scenario. israel needs better brains to steer its stinking, sinking ship out of this mess
