According to a report, the defense establishment is weighing a widespread ban on civilian drone flights nationwide, citing concerns that drones could be used for explosive or espionage attacks.
The defense establishment is reportedly considering a broad ban on civilian drone flights across the country, citing concerns over explosive and espionage attacks. The development follows the security cabinet's discussion of a complete drone ban earlier this evening, as The Zioneer reported at 21:45. The cabinet had received the defense establishment's opinion, according to Channel 12. The current consideration, described as 'broad' but not necessarily total, reflects ongoing efforts to address the threat of drone-based attacks amid heightened tensions with Iran. The scope of the ban and its implementation details remain unclear.
