A Hezbollah first-person-view (FPV) drone attack on Sunday killed Israeli Corporal Aidan Fox and wounded six others in Tiberias. The attack, reported by the Times of Israel, has exposed the IDF's lack of preparedness for fiber-optic guided drones, which are immune to electronic jamming. Israel's Defense Ministry only issued a public call for solutions last week, nearly two years after such drones first appeared in Ukraine. Israeli intelligence initially assessed the drones had a short range, but launches have since been detected from up to 15 kilometers away.
