Hezbollah has released footage showing the first known instance of the group launching an attack against Israeli military forces using an unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV).
Up until this point, all Hezbollah drone operations from Lebanon have been carried out using one-way explosive drones.
Footage of the strike shows what appears to be an Iranian-made HESA Ababil drone armed with two standard S-5 A2S rockets engaging the IDF Metula base, which Israeli officials say left three soldiers wounded.
Hezbollah publishes footage of a drone firing S5 rockets at an Israeli target in Metulla earlier today. This is the first documentation of a Hezbollah drone firing rockets in this war. pic.twitter.com/oPAgMVSV46
