Israel sold the Iron Dome as the impenetrable shield - Well Hezbollah now has 'impentrable needing...fishing nets?
Right, so on Friday, May the eighth, Hezbollah released footage showing an FPV drone closing in on an Iron Dome battery on Israel’s northern border, with Israeli soldiers standing nearby. Israeli reporting says Hezbollah’s FPV threat includes fibre-optic drones, the kind that trail a cable behind them and are much harder to jam, but the key fact here is simpler: Hezbollah filmed the approach, the drone hit the battery, and the Israeli army did not publicly dispute the footage. Unofficial sources inside the army said they could not dispute that the footage was real. That is the position the Israeli military is now holding, in public, on one of the most expensive and symbolically loaded pieces of defence hardware it owns. Hezbollah hit it. Hezbollah filmed it. The army went quiet.
This is the system Israel has been selling to the world for over a decade as proof that Israeli technological superiority puts Hezbollah in a different league of warfare.
Hezbollah released footage showing a targeted FPV drone strike on an Israeli Iron Dome battery, highlighting the evolving military technology in the middle east conflict. This drone warfare incident, with Israeli soldiers nearby, underscores the ongoing tensions and raises questions about israel defense systems. Stay updated with news today on these critical developments.

►ABOUT ME:
Hi, I'm Damien Willey. I'm a former welder, but now I'm a writer, blogger, vlogger and presenter and interviewer with Socialist Telly (Please do go and visit what we all get up to on https://www.youtube.com/c/SocialistTelly)
I'm an unpaid carer for my disabled wife and daughter and as such we know all too well the difficulties that are associated with that living in Tory Britain - both blue Tories and red ones - and I personally believe the answer lies in socialism.
This channel, along with my other social media act as outlets to push back against that, to demand better of our politicians and leaders, to pull apart the media spin that supports them and the way the UK is run and to give a voice, loud as mine is, to the voiceless.
