Israeli media addressed on Tuesday the increasing number of incidents in which drones launched by Hezbollah infiltrated into the depths of the occupied territories without being detected, questioning whether the Resistance movement has found a gap in the Israeli army's interception and detection system.

In a serious incident earlier today, a Hezbollah drone was found in the yard of Moshe Davidovich, the head of the "Mateh Asher" Regional Council and Confrontation Line Forum in northern occupied Palestine.

Davidovich was quoted by Israeli media as saying that the UAV had made it past all anti-air and detection systems and mechanisms.

This evidence took place just one day after a drone made its way uninterrupted 50 kilometers deep into northern occupied Palestine and reached Tabaraya.

Israeli Channel 12 reported that "Hezbollah's drone incident .. is an additional example of the weakness of the security institution in detecting relatively small aerial objects."

For his part, the military affairs correspondent for the Israeli channel KAN warned that Hezbollah's drones crossing into the north undetected raises serious questions about the current systems in place.

Itay Blumenthal pointed out that "officials in the Air Force are talking about complex events and a great challenge in detecting Hezbollah's aerial objects, as they generally fly at a low altitude."

He added that "the enemy is constantly studying the Israeli army's capability to detect and locate," explaining that "the more primitive the aerial object is, the harder it is to detect as it has a very low thermal footprint."

Israeli Security Minister Yoav Gallant visited earlier today a base in northern occupied Palestine housing "Israel'" new "new giant missile-detecting" balloon Sky Dew.

According to Kan, this system is "still non-functional" and had been out of service for about two years due to a balloon tear, and repairing the fault took about two years.

The channel added that the security minister threatened Lebanon with the Israeli Air Force, but "did not talk about detection systems."
