The Israeli army spox acknowledges that the strategic balloon system has been attacked and damaged
He adds that there is no compromise to the army's abilities to detect incoming missile threats, and that the system was not operational yet
📝 The system was used several times over Lebanon for tests, and its loss is both a financial loss and an even bigger operational one too when it would have been needed most during a serious damage to the army's radar and detection abilities during a big war.

Threats from drones must cause headaches for security people at all large public events nowadays , technology developed on the battlefields of Ukraine can easily be applied by terrorists in an urban context. #drones#geopolitics#terrorism

Look: British and American fighter jets are now shooting down Iranian #drones (#Shahed) over #Israel, #Syria and #Jordan. And yet they are not in a direct war with #Iran.
Why can't we shoot down exactly the same Shahed drones over #Ukraine, just like that - without a state of war?!
Going to try watching old TV from 2009 instead of checking for updates on the escalating air war over the Middle East right now.
Thank you to the soldiers intercepting attacks.
May all the people in harms way, in and out of uniform, be safe, any injured be healed and comforted. May world leaders trying to convince themselves and each other to decrease the violence succeed.
