Ukrainian experience against FPV drones has reached the IDF: simple barbed wire has become part of the new war in the north
The story with rotating barbed wire against FPV drones seems almost paradoxical: an army that has built its reputation on high technology, radars, sensors, and multi-layered defense for decades is forced to look closely at a very simple solution born on the front of the Russian-Ukrainian war. According to open reports from Israeli media, the […]
Iran, China, Russia: Hezbollah’s trophies showed who arms Israel’s enemies
In the north of Israel, there is a place where the war with Hezbollah is seen not through politicians’ statements, but through hardware.

On May 8, 2026, the […]
The IDF urgently purchased anti-drone bullets from the USA, which were already used by Ukraine against Russian drones
The IDF urgently purchased a large batch of special 5.56 mm caliber cartridges from the USA, designed to combat drones.

FPV drones on fiber optics in Lebanon — a warning signal for Israel

What does the new ceasefire in Lebanon mean and why is Israel in no hurry to talk about peace
At midnight, a new 10-day ceasefire agreement in Lebanon came into effect, and at first glance, it looks like a chance to at least temporarily halt the dangerous escalation on Israel’s northern border. However, if you read not only the headlines but also the construction of the agreements themselves, it becomes clear: this is not […]
IDF transferred to immediate readiness mode: Israel accelerates preparations for possible resumption of war with Iran
On April 12, 2026, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir ordered the army to transition to a heightened readiness format and prepare for the scenario of a swift return to direct military confrontation with Iran.
