I don’t know about the accuracy of this story since it would come as a shock that one of the most advanced fighting forces on Earth doesn’t already encrypt drones. According to this report the Israeli Defense Forces is now encrypting drones because of Hizballah’s sophisticated intelligence capabilities. This report shows that unlike in the past, Israel is taking the Islamic Imperialist occupation army of once Maronite Lebanon. With that once great land under it’s evil claws, they are now pointing 40,000 Missiles at Israel in preparation for acts of aggression.

The IDF is in the process of encrypting its drones, defense officials said on Wednesday, amid reports that a team of military experts had concluded that Hizbullah succeeded in ambushing a navy commando force in 1997 after intercepting surveillance footage of a planned raid in Lebanon.

In what has been called the “Shayetet Disaster,” 11 commandos from the navy’s Flotilla 13 unit – known as the Shayetet – were killed in the ambush, including the commander of the force, Lt.-Col. Yossi Korakin.

The piece also focused on Syria’s role in Hizbullah operations, in both manufacture and transportation of rockets.

Hizballah clearly is not some rag tag organization. They are well financed by Iran and have sophisticated weaponry. They, as a militia, are militarily more powerful than the Lebanese Army, which is now mostly Shiite. Israel is clearly now taking no chances and doing what it must in preparation for the coming fight with Hizballah. The IDF should show these occupying savages no mercy.
