Part 1/5:
The Evolving Threat of Drone Warfare
The security landscape has seen significant developments since the last edition of the security brief. The deteriorating situation in Northern Gaza and the worsening conditions in the Jabalia refugee camp have been closely monitored. Additionally, the anticipated Israeli response to Iran's ballistic missile attack has now materialized, with the deployment of a US high-altitude anti-missile system known as THAAD.
However, the most significant event this week has been Hezbollah's surprise attack on an Israeli military base near Hia, using a drone. This attack, which killed four soldiers and injured dozens more, has highlighted the growing threat posed by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones in the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine.
