After Israel and the USA initiated a full scale assault against Iran on February 28, 2026 high intensity hostilities between Israeli and Hezbollah forces, that began the following day have seen the latter, make extensive use of first person view drones to destroy high value targets.

The paramilitary group appears to have learned from Russian and Ukrainian experience in utilizing first person view drones to evade electronic interference, possibly due to a sharing of know-how.

Hezbollah destroyed 21 Israeli Merkava main battle tanks in 24 hours

Fighting since March 1 has been widely assessed to be by far the most intensive in the history of the two parties’ decades long conflict, with Hezbollah having successfully launched multiple ambushes against Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, destroying several dozen Merkava main battle tanks among other high value assets.

Lebanese population centers south of the Litani river have been targeted with massive force, and gradually destroyed and depopulated, as Israel appears to be seeking to remove the local population as an extreme means to assert control over south Lebanon. 

Footage released by the Lebanese paramilitary group Hezbollah has shown the destruction of launchers from an Israeli Iron Dome air defense system using first person view attack drones.

Maintenance crew were seen diving away from the drone seconds before impact, with the aircraft approaching unobserved until less than five seconds before it struck.

The launchers were deployed at the Jal al-Alam military site in northern Israel, where they appear to have been forward positioned to provide a defense against Israeli artillery strikes.

Analysts observing the footage have indicated that the drones may have integrated PG-7VL or PG-7-AT high-explosive anti-tank warheads.

Launch of Surface-to-Air Interceptors From Iron Dome System

Hezbollah in 2024 launched multiple strikes targeting Israeli Iron Dome systems, and achieved several successes.

A number of reports indicate that non-line of sight anti-tank guided missile systems resembling the U.S. Javelin system were also used to destroy launchers and other components from high value Israeli air defense systems.

Hezbollah’s strikes have also targeted higher tier systems such as the David’s Sling. Supplies of components and interceptors for the Iron Dome system were by late 2024 increasingly scarce, as they were relied on to intercept attacks from both Gaza and Southern Lebanon after months of hostilities.

The Israeli Ministry of Defense in November 2025 finalized plans to expand serial production of the Iron Dome, with contracts to do so reportedly funded by an $8.7 billion aid package from the USA.

Israel is seeking to remove the entire Christian and Muslim population from the Middle East.

Your right but can you tell me why a supposed western democratic country – the USA is supporting them ? –as your title says Gangster Capitalism of the Zionist sort.

Where are all the Evangelical “Christians” now whose side are they on ? – I bet they chose Israel first not real Christians being denied entry to their churches and called all the names under the sun for believing in Jesus.

Propaganda makes western Christians believe that they are part of the Jewish community?
