IDF says it has been intercepting dozens of Iranian drones using electronic warfare means

The Israeli military reveals that it has intercepted dozens of Iranian drones using electronic warfare means since the beginning of the war with Iran.

Troops of the 5114th Spectrum Battalion, part of the IDF’s Computer Service Directorate, “have played a significant role in the mission to defend against unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) launched from Iran toward the State of Israel,” the military says.

In recent days, the IDF says the unit foiled dozens of attempts by Iran to carry out UAV attacks on Israel, using “advanced technological tools for the real-time detection and neutralization of aerial threats.”

“Their activity provides an additional layer of defense,” the IDF says.

Iran has launched more than 1,000 drones at Israel during the war, with the vast majority of them being intercepted by the Israeli Air Force and Navy. One drone hit a home in Beit She’an over the weekend.
