Hezbollah has employed first-person-view (FPV) kamikaze drones to target Israeli military equipment in southern Lebanon. The strikes reportedly hit Merkava tanks, Namer armored personnel carriers, and an unarmored communications and electronic warfare vehicle. The group released video footage of the attacks, with the unarmored vehicle appearing to sustain the most significant damage from a direct drone hit. These strikes are part of the ongoing cross-border conflict between Hezbollah and the Israeli Defense Forces.
