Hezbollah, Yemen drone downing challenge ‘Israel’, US air dominance

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah and Yemen’s Armed Forces carried out a series of operations downing drones, revealing their enhanced air defense capabilities and tactics, which are now believed to be pushing “Israel” and the United States to review their air operations plans in the region, experts told Breaking Defense.
