A strategic shift on the battlefield
Christa Case Bryant
Editor
Amid a stalemate in the U.S.-Iran war, Israeli troops have advanced on another front, capturing a strategic mountain that affords a view of much of southern Lebanon.
Saladin prevailed against the Crusaders there. Israel took it from Yasser Arafat and his Palestinian militants nearly 800 years later, in 1982. Israel鈥檚 forces retreated 18 years after that in a protracted war with Hezbollah.
Now, they are back. Israel鈥檚 hold on the Crusader-built Beaufort castle marks a major advance in its latest war against Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy. But that may not carry the advantage it once did. Hezbollah is now equipped with drones that Saladin could only dream of.聽
It鈥檚 not just Hezbollah advancing the art of asymmetric warfare. In our top piece today, reported from Ukraine, Howard LaFranchi looks at the rapid acceleration of drone usage and adaptation to the battlefield.
