Horror ‘Swarm of drones’: 4 soldiers killed 7 severely injured at an Israeli military camp in Binyamina, northern Israel and 67 others injured, in Hezbollah drone strike
The attack on Sunday took place near the town of Binyamina, south of Haifa
According to Israel’s Channel 12, no warning sirens were heard before the attack
Reporting from Amman, Jordan, Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh said that though the Israeli air defence system is very sophisticated and multi-layered, drones are hard to detect.
“Usually, the sirens go off when something is heading towards a location so civilians and residents of that area are told to seek shelter. That’s why there have been a very small number of injuries throughout the past year from those attacks,” she said.
“But the drones are harder to detect, and because they fly at lower altitudes, they are much more difficult to intercept. Effectively intercepting them would put a lot of people in danger,” Odeh said.
