Senior political commentator Amit Segal wrote in his Yisrael Hayom column last week that the drone threat is currently the main concern of Shin Bet chief Dovid Zini.
According to Segal, Israeli security officials believe drones have fundamentally changed the battlefield. With Iran’s regional proxy network significantly weakened, they fear Tehran may attempt to reshape the threat by launching drone attacks at Israeli targets from southern Lebanon, Gaza, or Yehuda and Shomron.
“Drones launched from southern Lebanon are the only Hezbollah weapon that has caused significant loss of life. Why wouldn’t they try the same thing from Gaza—and especially from Yehuda and Shomron?” Segal wrote.
He outlined a scenario in which a swarm of drones targets a public event attended by Israel’s senior leadership, chalilah.
“What if, this time, a group of drones crashes into an officers’ graduation ceremony attended by the Prime Minister, the Defense Minister, and the IDF Chief of Staff?”
“Zini is deeply concerned about scenarios like these. It can be stated that the drone threat is now at the top of his list of concerns—and it’s not as though he lacks other things to worry about.”
Segal added that last week’s cabinet meeting, which was held at a secret location, reflects the government’s recognition of the growing drone threat.

This is why the old saying “Offense is the best defense” is so important today.
Today’s liberal fighting strategy is a defensive strategy. They hit you, you hit them back “proportionally”. This is the cause of all the problems!
You need to hit the enemy so hard, that it wouldn’t be worth even making a threat.
By now Gaza should have been clean of Arabs.
Many towns in Yehuda and Shomron where terrorists came from and many more threats come from there, should have been empty of Arabs and taken over by Israelis
Either the enemy learns a lesson or they are totally destroyed
When a country or a leader of a country makes a threat to destroy Israel, him his family and people around him should be taken out after the first threat made. People will learn that even a threat is VERY COSTLY!
