Israeli troops captured a cache of Hezbollah first-person view (FPV) drones during operations in southern Lebanon.

The military says troops of the Nahal Brigade’s 50th Battalion raided a Hezbollah site where they located numerous weapons, including explosive-laden drones, a sniper rifle, RPGs and other equipment.

Hezbollah operatives have been increasingly using FPV drones in attacks on Israeli troops carrying out a ground offensive against the terror group in southern Lebanon.
