The militant group is using devices linked to their launch site by a thin fibre-optic cable that can stretch for dozens of kilometres
The Israeli military – considered one of the most advanced in the world – has confirmed two soldiers and one civilian contractor killed in explosive drone attacks in under a week, with several others wounded despite a ceasefire in place since mid-April.
The devices are small, cheap and readily available, like “children’s toys”, explained Orna Mizrahi, a senior researcher at Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies (INSS).
The military “does not have nowadays any response for that, because they didn’t prepare themselves for such low-tech explosives”, she said.
Since then, violence has continued, with both sides accusing each other of breaching the ceasefire.
