| [IsraelTimes] According to fresh IDF data, some 1,300 drones have been launched at Israel since the start of the war last year, from all fronts — Lebanon, Gaza, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Iran. The IDF says that 231 of the drones struck Israel, causing causalities and damage in some cases. Drones that exploded in open areas are also counted as having struck Israel. Some 80 percent of drones have been intercepted, according to the military. The IDF says it is increasing its efforts against Hezbollah’s aerial forces, known as Unit 127, which is responsible for drone attacks on Israel. So far, the commander of the unit has been killed, along with other officers. In all, around 10% of the unit’s members have been killed or wounded, according to the IDF. The Hezbollah aerial forces are currently left with some 30% of the drones it had before the war — thought to be in the hundreds — according to IDF assessments. The military says that it has struck 54 sites used by the aerial forces to store drones, 24 sites used to store cruise missiles, eight sites where drones and cruise missiles were assembled, six underground sites, and seven weapon depots. |
