Israeli officials are reportedly pushing for a complete ban on civilian drone flights due to the lack of a technological solution to counter explosive drones and concerns over a potential escalation with Iran. The security cabinet has discussed the issue and received the defense establishment's opinion, according to Channel 12.
The Zioneer reported earlier this evening that Israeli officials were weighing a nationwide ban on civilian drone flights amid concerns over the explosive drone threat and a potential shift in Iranian tactics. According to a new report from Channel 12, the security cabinet has since discussed the matter and received the defense establishment's opinion. The proposed ban is driven by the lack of a technological solution to counter explosive drones and fears that Iran could escalate the use of such drones. No final decision has been announced.
