NEWS SUMMARY

Hezbollah has increased its use of small, fiber-optic-controlled FPV drones against Israeli targets since March 26, with BBC Verify geolocating 35 videos showing attacks on soldiers and armored vehicles in southern Lebanon and northern Israel. Experts state these cheap, commercially-sourced drones bypass Israeli defenses, leading to Israeli troop caution and investment in improved countermeasures, while Israeli media reports four soldiers and one civilian killed by FPV strikes.
