Chris Brown – CBC News May 28, 2026
On the battlefields of southern Lebanon, the world’s most advanced air defence network is being bested by small drones that can be bought online, duct-taped with explosives and flown directly into Israeli military vehicles.
Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based militia that was once feared for its powerful arsenal of rockets and missiles, has pivoted to using drones, both out of necessity and shrewd adaptation.
Many of its top leaders have been killed and its inventory of missiles and launchers is believed to be severely depleted because of Israeli attacks.
The change in tactics has had consequences for IDF troops occupying southern Lebanon.
Eleven Israeli soldiers have been killed since the U.S.-sponsored ceasefire was agreed to on April 16, and of those CBC News has found references to four deaths that were the result of drones.
One of the more recent casualties was 19-year-old Sgt. Nehoray Leizer, who was killed on May 24 when the armoured personnel carrier he was driving was hit by a drone. Another soldier was seriously injured.
Last Wednesday, the IDF announced 10 soldiers were wounded in two drone attacks, one seriously.
“It creates quite a serious tactical problem for the Israelis,” said Robert Tollast, a land warfare specialist with the London-based Royal United Services Institute, a military think-tank.
“The longer they [Hezbollah] can persist with this threat, then it starts to have strategic implications. As more Israeli soldiers are killed and wounded … the effects will add up.”
In response to the surge in drone strikes, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday said he ordered the IDF to increase the intensity of its attacks against the militant group.
In another indication of the pressure Israel’s government is feeling, far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich urged the widespread bombing of the Lebanese capital in response.
“For every explosive drone, 10 buildings should fall in Beirut,” he posted.

Lessons from Ukraine
Hezbollah appears to have been watching developments in Ukraine closely.
The battlefields of that country’s eastern front are characterized by the rapid advancement of drone warfare, with both Ukraine and Russia rushing to innovate and deploy increasingly sophisticated UAVs, or unmanned aerial vehicles.
One of the key breakthroughs has been the use of kilometres-long spools of fibre optic cable to tether drones to their operators and remove the possibility that radio transmissions could be blocked.
The cable also gives the operator a high-quality view of the landscape and potential targets below.
“Fibre optic is almost ideal if you are a good [drone] pilot and you’ve planned the route … you could potentially attack soldiers on the other side of a hill, and you’re not going to lose that radio signal,” said Tollast.
While Ukraine and Russia now mass-produce and fly thousands of drones every day, Hezbollah appears to be relying on more conventional methods of obtaining them, such as ordering them on e-commerce sites such as AliExpress.
The Alhurra media site reported Lebanese customs had no restrictions on importing spools of fibre optic wire.
.Eluding Israeli air defences
Israel’s military has penetrated up to a dozen kilometres into southern Lebanon, demolishing buildings and attacking what it calls “terrorist infrastructure” in an effort to neutralize Hezbollah’s ability to launch rockets into northern Israel.
That’s left its troops vulnerable to drones that can fly low and avoid Israeli air defences.
“It’s very difficult to detect these quadcopters. They don’t leave much of a signature,” said Yaakov Lappin, an Israel-based military and strategic affairs analyst and research fellow with the Alma Research and Education Center.
“They’re basically a nightmare for any radar detections.”
Hezbollah social media and TV channels are filled with short videos showing purported attacks on Israel troops and military equipment.
CBC’s visual verification team has examined more than half a dozen videos posted on official Hezbollah sites and determined the first-person view (FPV) videos are likely authentic and not the product of AI.
One video published on Wednesday showed what appeared to be a Hezbollah quadcopter hitting a multimillion-dollar Israeli anti-missile system positioned behind a fortified wall. It’s unclear what, if anything, was actually damaged.
In one of the most dramatic incidents on April 26, at least one Hezbollah drone attacked a group of Israeli soldiers performing a medical evacuation after an earlier drone strike killed one soldier and injured six others. CBC was able to verify two videos showing this incident.
Lappin says Hezbollah also uses its drones as roadside bombs by landing them near where Israeli soldiers might be heading and then waiting for an opportunity to launch again.
“They call it ‘perching,’ where they sort of go to sleep and they can be reactivated again,” Lappin said. “They’re not going to be physically detected until someone physically sees them.”
Delayed reaction
Earlier this month, Netanyahu said he had initiated a “counter-drone project” but warned that developing effective counter-measures will “take time.” On Monday, he said he had authorized more intensive strikes on Lebanon in response to the surge of drone attacks.
“The IDF had warnings about this and it’s been late,” said Lappin about the drone threat.
Subsequently, the IDF said it has installed roughly 58,000 square metres of mesh netting to protect its vehicles and troops, with more coming.
Other potential drone counter-measures include using AI-enhanced gun sights called “smart shooters” that soldiers can fire at drones from the ground with a high degree of accuracy.
Some Israeli tanks are also equipped with “active protective systems” that use small radars to detect incoming objects, such as anti-tank missiles, and then fire counter-measures at them just before they’re about to hit.
The IDF “weren’t expecting this fibre optic threat to come to their doorstep so quickly,” said Tollast, the RUSI expert. “[Hezbollah’s] drone operators seem to have picked this up relatively quickly.”
Tollast believes the Israelis will be able to adapt quickly. “But it’s a question of changing training, changing doctrine and I don’t think that’s going to happen overnight.”
‘Psychological terror’
It’s not just the drones’ damage to vehicles and physical threat to troops that’s worrying the IDF — it’s also their ability to panic soldiers and civilians, says Lappin.
“It [creates] a psychological terror, because the IDF soldiers know that there’s a race against time to come up with solutions and until those solutions are in place, they’re going to feel exposed,” he said.
Hezbollah’s drone innovations have implications far beyond the battlefields of southern Lebanon and northern Israel.
“We are going to be entering a situation where basically any adversary, non-state terrorists, some of them supported by nefarious actors, are going to be able to deliver air threats pretty much anywhere in the world,” said Lappin.
“This is like a poor man’s air force and therefore … a wake-up call for everybody, the whole of the West. This threat is very, very accessible.”

Hit those Jewish terrorists HARD …notice how ONLY the Shia are defending Lebanon…The “Christian” element just wants to sit there and blame Hezbollah////the Sunnis? Worthless as well since they prefer Jews to Christians & Shia..the Lebanese are EXHAUSTING
There’s a war going on.
It’s between good and evil.
Chose your side
You can be good, or you can be evil
Evil is fake Israel.
Evil are those who kill for it.
Evil are those who support it.
Be good, be with God.
Talk about fake Israel.
Talk to lost souls who support it.
God will love you for it…
Amen

We are the lucky ones who have not fallen for what is false. Because we are with God and we try to do what’s good and just and right. It’s because we love truth.
Fake Israel wants us to believe they are just killing Amalek because the God of creation has told them to.
God help them who believe fake Israel.
God help them, especially Christians who believe in fake Israel. Could it be that they have received a powerful delusion?
Surely many are able to wake up now if they’re honest with themselves, and are paying attention to what fake Israel is doing, and has been doing over the last 30 months?
“Hezbollah’s cheap, easy-to-get drones have Israeli soldiers diving for cover”… faster than a rat up a drainpipe! 😂🤣🤣
Just one more.
God help them, especially fake Christians who believe fake Israel.
PS: Russia blamed for dropping a bomb, drone I think somewhere in and on Romania.
Things are getting crazy.
What’s NATO going to do?
Nobody dead, two lightly injured, seven escaped uninjured according to the BBC
That’ll be the day when somebody at the BBC says; ‘hey it might be a false flag?
Looks like they are gonna label those guys as psyche terrorists, with the drones now capable of being the great equalizer. More likely the sales of the drones are made by their very own “merchants” just as easily done when the North American Indians got lots of rifles in defending their home against the so called army. Or when the El Salvador natives got a hold of lots of missiles to shoot down government helicopters in the 70’s n 80’s.
Another “raging war” over the “battlefields “ of an already occupied country, where the idiot def forces go manno a manno against their very own created fake terrorists. Those drones are made available by the merchants, and every general has an X account. They want this “threat” so bad to reach the rest of the world.
CBC – The Cabal Bullshitting Corporation is at it again focusing on a few online drones and duct tape being used to thwart the massive Israeli invasion of Israel while the thieving Jewish kibbutzers are building their settlements over the bloody ruins of the homes of the innocent Palestinians they have murdered or driven off their lands. [Surprise, surprise. Look at what has happened in the control of all our systems.] Meanwhile, the totally-controlled and corrupt Lebanese government is supporting the murdering and plundering of their own people, with the only true resistance to the murdering bastards being a rag-tag group of resistance fighters who have order domestic drones and duct tape through Amazon and make their own explosives. No, no sophisticated missiles or military drones from Russia, China, or even from Iran for them.
Gee wiz, a few Israeli IDF (Israeli Destruction Force) members may have died from the drone attacks, and maybe 10 wounded. Wow, those radical Hezbollah Muslims sure are effective in defending their homeland from the friendly Israelis invaders “improving” their turf with a “superior” stock of people.
We are shown by many Israeli spokespeople, and even Netanyahu himself, the maps of the Greater Israeli Project, and we KNOW what they do to their victims, but what kind of journalism to we get from these Jewish-paid hacks? Only the yellow bullshtting kind. They start a war against Iran through their usurped controls of our corporate, financial, media, and political systems, sucking in the stupid, degenerate, goyim, aristocracy and old-money elites into thinking they will get a good cut of the spoils out of defeating Iran, while the main objective of the international Jewish money power is for the huge expansion of Israel. Consider the long-range Rothschild plans for the Jewish owned-and-controlled Western Asia Project and the expanded Israel being the center of the largest trade hub in the world, with the major Muslim nations, including Iran, already having bought into the the plans and the BRI through Iran, and you may just start to suspect that the war against Iran is actually a huge dodge or pretext exactly to achieve those very plans. We know that they “plan 50 to 100 years in advance”, so why do such plans have entirely no currency with the pundits about the real reasons for this war? Why in terms of any of the past planning which has gone on are they all so inept at getting to the actual source of things?
Israel needs this war against Iran as a pretext for its expansion. It will totally screw the people of every Muslim nation it has sucked into the Abraham Accords which was the main objective of the first puppet Trump administration from 2017 to 2020. The entire “America First” song & dance was as we now know just one more deceptive cover by the usual suspects. Now that Israel and international Jewry has got this war started they will keep it going as long as possible, exaggerating the alleged “devastating” retaliations they are suffering from Iran, and the alleged “fierce” resistance they they are encountering all the way to the Euphrates from rag-tag groups such as Hezbollah.
But why should we care? Is it any of our business, and have we not in any case already decided that the world is run on a might-makes-right basis in which the ends justify the means? Even if you are relatively free of the systems and the control grids, in which the majority clearly are not, it is hard to find any organized resistance to the corruption and blatant atrocities constantly being perpetuated against innocent people by the monsters running our systems. An insider from eastern Canada told me the other day about the rife corruption and fakery in our leading systems and how futile it is for anyone on the inside to oppose the power structures. He said that advancement has nothing really to do with merit and that you cannot have and morals which conflict with the interests of the organization or system. Security and advancement, he said, is is mainly whom you know, owe, or own. and whom you are able to suck up to.
In any case, we still know that all major modern systems we have crated are free and immune from any attacks based on right and wrong. We can target even their main control centers with an online truth bomb, and it can blow up right in their faces, but it will have entirely no effect.
If the 2020 fake election of Biden was a staged psyop by the USrael deep state in order to give the puppet Trump the needed interlude while they cleaned up Syria, and the time they needed to launch the war against Iran while provoking it with Gaza genocide. Their principal objective has always been to expand Israel in the Levant, and you can bloody well be sure that just like the NSA source facts of the Covid virus, that not even the more independent journalists even in the alt media will ever dare to go there.
In a better world in which our long-agreed-upon, human and national sovereignty rights actually trumped and checked all of the evil ends and the systemic corruption of the powerful, Israel would not exist in the first place. Even if it did it would never have become an exclusive Jewish state. For such blatant atrocities, murder, theft, plundering and deception, the nations running of the basis of the higher values would immediately crush and disband the entire evil network.
Sure, the Muslims are not to be trusted, but the truth and real enlightenment will never win out as long as we keep using force and evil methods to sustain or to expand our interests.
Cheap hobby drones used as mules for bombs in combat against ((( Satans minions )))?
Don’t ya love simplicity and ingenuity ?
Killing masses of soldiers of any side is messy.
A mess that never will end until the leaders, the head of the snake, get the right and deserved thing.
More BS from our one world government Orwell News Network
