Hezbollah makes more drones less rockets, Israeli report says
by Naharnet Newsdesk 10 June 2025, 14:40 Israeli media reports said that Hezbollah has ramped up its domestic production of explosive-laden UAVs and attack or reconnaissance drones as an easier and cheaper alternative to precision missiles and rockets. Israeli news portal ynet said Tuesday that Hezbollah has drawn tactical inspiration from the effectiveness of drones in Ukraine as it aims for greater self-sufficiency and less reliance on Iran. Hezbollah has said it can manufacture its own drones. Last week, on the eve of the Eid al-Adha holiday, the Israeli military struck several sites in Beirut's southern suburbs, saying they held underground facilities used by Hezbollah for drone production. The Israeli army said in a statement that Hezbollah was "working to produce thousands of drones under the guidance and financing of Iranian terrorist groups." Hezbollah "used drones extensively in its attacks against the State of Israel and is working to expand its drone industry and production in preparation for the next war," the army statement said. ynet said the strikes were approved despite internal debate among Israeli leadership. A Hezbollah official denied that there were drone production facilities at the targeted locations. The Lebanese army said it tried to convince Israel not to carry out the strikes and to instead let Lebanese officials go in to search the area under the mechanism laid out in the ceasefire agreement, but that the Israeli army refused, so Lebanese soldiers moved away from the locations after they were sent. Hezbollah's drone program Hezbollah began using Iranian-made drones after Israel withdrew from southern Lebanon in 2000 and sent the first reconnaissance Mirsad drone over Israel's airspace in 2004. Hezbollah's drone program received substantial assistance from Iran, and the UAVs are believed to be assembled by experts of the militant group in Lebanon. Hezbollah launched roughly 1,500 surveillance and attack drones during its war with Israel. In October 2024, a drone laden with explosives evaded Israel's multilayered air-defense system and slammed into a mess hall at a military training camp deep inside Israel, killing four soldiers and wounding dozens. Drones are harder to detect and track than rockets or missiles Drones, or UAVs, are unmanned aircraft that can be operated from afar. Drones can enter, surveil and attack enemy territory more discreetly than missiles and rockets. Israel has a formidable arsenal of drones, capable of carrying out spy missions and attacks. It has developed a drone capable of reaching archenemy Iran, some 1500 kilometers away. But Israel's enemies have caught Israel off-guard on a number of occasions over the past year, often with deadly consequences. In July, a drone launched from Yemen travelled some 270 kilometers from Israel's southern tip, all the way to Tel Aviv, slamming into a downtown building and killing one person without it having been intercepted. Drones are harder to detect for a number of reasons: They fly slowly and often include plastic components, having a weaker thermal footprint with radar systems than powerful rockets and missiles. The trajectory is also harder to track. Drones can have roundabout flight paths, can come from any direction, fly lower to the ground and — because they are much smaller than rockets — can be mistaken for birds. Israel spent years focusing on strengthening its air defense systems to improve protection against rockets and missiles. But drones were not seen as a top priority.

Iran Threatens to Strike Secret Israeli Nuclear Plants
Iran's Supreme National Security Council announced that the Israeli enemy's target bank is on the table of the armed forces, after Tehran revealed it had obtained a large amount of sensitive strategic information and documents related to 'Israel'. The council explained in a statement on Monday that the complex intelligence operation carried out by members of the 'Soldiers of Imam Mahdi' unit represents a major intelligence gain and is part of a quiet and precise strategy pursued by the Iranian state in confronting enemy campaigns. 'This breakthrough comes within the framework of smart planning and quiet procedures and is being complemented on the ground through the armed forces' continuous, day and night, unpretentious struggle with the aim of creating an operational capability which commensurate with the strengths and weaknesses of the Zionist entity and its supporters.' The council explained that access to this data today and the completion of the intelligence and operational cycle have enabled the Mujahideen of Islam to respond immediately to any potential attack by the Zionist entity on Iran's nuclear facilities, by targeting its secret nuclear facilities, and to respond in kind to any sabotage against economic or military infrastructure in a precise and proportionate manner, consistent with the type of attack. Earlier, Iran's Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib unveiled the trove of secret 'Israeli' documents the country has obtained are related to the occupying entity's nuclear facilities and will enhance Iran's offensive capabilities. Separately, Iran received 'elements' of the US proposal last week regarding an agreement on the Islamic Republic's nuclear program, but considered the proposal contains 'many ambiguities' and confirmed that it would soon submit its own proposal for an agreement with Washington.

Iran to Respond to US' Proposal in Days: Tasnim News Agency
Iran will reportedly give its response to a recent proposal that the US has submitted via Oman within the next two days. Tasnim has learned that Iran's formal response to the American proposal will be sent within the next two days. Iran's written reply to the US will be reportedly given through diplomatic channels. Iran's response is said to include a proposal for an ultimate nuclear agreement that entails the maintenance of uranium enrichment inside Iran as well as a series of measures by Iran to allay the US' concerns in exchange for the effective removal of sanctions. It appears that Iran will also express its readiness for the next round of indirect nuclear talks with US provided that Tehran's red lines are not crossed. Last week, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said an American proposal has been delivered by the Foreign Minister of Oman Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi. 'My dear brother Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi, distinguished Foreign Minister of Oman, paid a short visit to Tehran today to present elements of a US proposal which will be appropriately responded to in line with the principles, national interests and rights of the people of Iran,' Araqchi said in an X post. Iran and the US have held five rounds of talks since April 12, mediated by Oman, with the purpose of reaching a deal on Iran's nuclear program and the removal of sanctions on Tehran.
