Jerusalem ¨C Hezbollah¡¯s cheap fiber-optic drones are creating new challenges for Israeli troops in southern Lebanon, forcing the military to adapt its tactics against an increasingly lethal threat.

The devices are small, cheap and readily available, like ¡°children¡¯s toys,¡± explained Orna Mizrahi, a senior researcher at Israel¡¯s Institute for National Security Studies (INSS).
