An explosive-laden first-person view (FPV) drone launched by Hezbollah struck near IDF Northern Command chief Maj. Gen. Rafi Milo as he was visiting southern Lebanon several weeks ago, according to the military.
The IDF says that “no damage was caused and there were no casualties” in the incident, although reports indicate that the drone hit one of the vehicles in Milo’s convoy shortly after he exited his car.
Since the incident, the IDF has changed its protocols for visits of officers to southern Lebanon.
