Hezbollah has escalated its use of fiber-optic guided drones in recent battles in southern Lebanon, according to a report highlighted by the Cradle website. The technology allows the drones to operate without signal interference, enabling them to precisely target and exploit vulnerabilities in Israel's advanced Merkava tanks. These low-cost methods are challenging Israel's armored superiority, demonstrating that tools 'weaker than a spider's web' can pose a serious threat to heavy military equipment.
