Hezbollah and Houthis’ Air Defense Upgrades Down Israeli, US Drones, Panicking Tel Aviv | Watch

Hezbollah and Yemen's Armed Forces have significantly improved their air defense capabilities, successfully downing several Israeli and US drones. This development is forcing Israel and the US to reconsider their air operations in the region. Experts suggest that these groups' enhanced abilities could challenge Israel's air dominance and compromise intelligence gathering. As a result, Israel and the US may need to adjust their tactics, improve countermeasures, and continue developing new technologies to maintain their aerial advantage. #Hezbollah #YemenArmedForces #USDrones #Israel #IsraelGazawar #HezbollahAttack #Worldnews #Warnews #Oneindia #Oneindianews ~HT.178~PR.320~ED.194~GR.125~
