The Israeli military publishes a video showing a Hezbollah operative being targeted in a first-person video (FPV) drone strike.
Reservists of the 226th Paratroopers Brigade identified a Hezbollah operative in their area of operations yesterday. While he tried to flee on a motorcycle, the troops targeted and killed him using an FPV drone, the IDF says.
Hezbollah has also repeatedly targeted Israeli troops operating in southern Lebanon with FPV drones in recent weeks. This week, a soldier and a civilian Defense Ministry contractor were killed in FPV drone attacks in southern Lebanon.
