Israel seeks defense industry support to counter drone threats from Iran and Hezbollah
Summary: Israel's government is seeking help from its defense industry to improve its ability to counter drone attacks from Iran and Hezbollah. The Defense Ministry has initiated a competition among eight companies to develop new technologies for this purpose.
The ministry plans to select several technologies for rapid development and production, aiming to enhance operational capabilities within months. This comes after Hezbollah's recent drone attack on Israeli forces, which resulted in casualties.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant emphasized the need for a national effort to address the drone threat, which is supported by Iran across multiple regions. Major defense firms, including Elbit Systems and Rafael, are participating in this initiative.
