Hezbollah Drone Units Hit Iron Dome, Shift Attention To Israeli Troops (Videos) Hezbollah’s drone units have expanded their operations, targeting an Iron Dome air defense site of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), in addition to several gatherings of troops in northern Israel and southern Lebanon, using fiber optic-guided first person view (FPV) quadcopters. The Iron Dome site, located near the Jal al-Alam site in northern Israel, was targeted by Hezbollah twice, on May 7 and 8. The first drone strike hit what appears to be a fully loaded launcher of the system, while the second targeted Israeli troops who were apparently removing the launcher. The launcher was hidden behind fortified semantic blocks. The Iron Dome was developed mainly to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and shells. The system can also engage more traditional aerial targets, like fighter jets, helicopters, drones and cruise missiles. However, it is completely useless against small drones like quadcopters.
