Israel will learn the lessons from the Hezbollah drone strike last night, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant vows as he visits the Golani Brigade training base and views the dining hall where the impact occurred.

“This is a difficult event with painful results,” he says to Golani officers who were present at the strike. “We must investigate it, study the details and assimilate the lessons in a quick and professional manner.”

“Faced with the threat of UAVs, we are concentrating a national effort and are engaged in developing solutions that will help deal with the threat,” he declares.
