To war with drone. Combat drone.

Massive [?] Iranian armed drone attack on Israel thwarted.

From the latest edition of the DEBKAfile newsletter:

"Israel’s army chief: Soleimani masterminded thwarted drone attack. We’re ready for all contingencies"

25 August.

"Al Qods chief Qassem Soleimani personally masterminded and trained the killer drone team for a major attack on N. Israel . . . A force attached to the IRGC’s Al Qods Brigades, under Soleimani’s direction, had been planning the attack for months, using Mohajer drones, each packed with 5kg of explosives, of the type used by Yemeni Houthi rebels against Saudi Arabia. The teams and the drones were preparing for the attack at Akraba, a village south of Damascus, where Al Qods rented a fenced compound with villa, swimming pool and storehouses. On Thursday, IDF observation posts saw 4 men leaving the compound carrying drones and entering Arnah, another Syrian village much closer to the Israeli Golan. When they tried to launch them, Israeli forces zapped their mechanisms, hoping that was the end of it . . . Israel has learned . . . that Iran has embarked on a new time [round] of serial war against Israel with explosive UAVs."

COMBAT DRONES AS EVIDENTLY COMBAT TESTED BY THE YEMENI HOUTHI REBELS NOW BEING DEPLOYED FOR USE AGAINST ISRAEL. ZAPPED BY WHAT MEANS NOT SPECIFIED.
