Israeli troops are confronting a new threat in their fight against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon: camera-equipped explosive drones that feed live video back to their operators via a fiber-optic tether to evade detection and traditional signal-jamming defenses. The unmanned, first-person-view vehicles, cheap to build from commercially available components, have helped the militants rearm despite the loss of a sponsor in Syria and the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. Since Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire last month, the weapons have killed at least four Israeli personnel.
