Hezbollah’s FPV Attacks; Hezbollah’s New Weapon in Asymmetric Warfare Against Israel!

Of these attacks, 215 were conducted in southern Lebanon and 37 in northern occupied Palestine. The highest concentration of attacks in southern Lebanon has been in the Al-Bayyadah area with 41 attacks, Qantara with 23 attacks, Taybeh with 17 attacks, Rashaaf with 16 attacks, Wadi Raj (south of Zouatar) with 15 attacks, and Bint Jbeil with 12 attacks.

An analysis of these attacks shows that Hezbollah, aiming to prevent the advancement of Israeli forces, has concentrated most of its strikes on three main axes: “the coastal Al-Bayyadah-Naqoura line,” “the Taybeh-Qantara-Wadi Raj axis along the Litani River,” and “the Rashaaf-Hadatha-Bint Jbeil axis.”

Merkava tanks, as the primary component of the Zionist army’s armored convoys, have been Hezbollah’s top target, followed by engineering vehicles and armored vehicles such as Humvees, Nameras, and others. Hezbollah has also attacked Iron Dome defense system platforms as well as communication and surveillance equipment. From the aggregated data, the following breakdown can be summarized:

Out of Hezbollah’s 252 FPV attacks on Zionist positions: 81 struck Merkava tanks, 47 struck armored vehicles (Humvees, Nameras, APCs, logistics vehicles, etc.), 27 struck engineering vehicles (bulldozers and excavators), 7 struck Iron Dome defense system platforms, 8 struck jamming and anti-drone equipment, and 3 struck surveillance cameras and electronic systems.

The composition of the Israeli regime army’s weapons and equipment indicates that their objective is rapid advancement into southern Lebanon, temporary fortification, and destruction of infrastructure there. To halt this large war machine, Hezbollah must deliver multiple, rapid strikes to disable armored and engineering vehicles, thereby prolonging the war, increasing costs and casualties for the Zionists, and forcing them to withdraw from southern Lebanon. In this regard, the FPV drone is a highly effective weapon, having established Hezbollah’s air superiority at low altitudes over a range of 15–20 kilometers, challenging expensive Zionist weaponry at very low cost. This tactic follows the Iranian doctrine of being simple, cheap, and small—a core principle in conducting asymmetric warfare against the Western-Zionist axis.
