Netanyahu would not share any additional details on what the solution is to defend against Hezbollah's first-person view drone threat, Davidovich said.FPV drones are considered to be one of the challenging tactical threats in southern Lebanon, primarily because they do not rely on wireless communication and are, therefore, immune to GPS jamming or other electronic defenses. They operate by being physically connected to the operator's controller via a micro-thin fiber-optic cable, allowing continuous, precise control of the aircraft right up to the moment that the drone hits, or attempts to hit, a target.However, while Davidovich thanked Netanyahu for the decision, he told the prime minister that “the decision will not be complete without ensuring the safety of our residents.”“There is a war in the North,” Davidovich added, raising concerns over Hezbollah drones.An explosive drone launched by Hezbollah is seen near the Israeli border with Lebanon during a Hezbollah attack in northern Israel, May 19, 2026.

In the first phase, an urgent, immediate budget of 105 million shekels will be allocated for emergency protection needs on the ground. This will be supplemented by an additional special budget of six billion shekels, designated for long-term protection programs in the North, modeled similarly to the system in the Gaza envelope. Alongside the protection budgets, the government will approve approximately five billion shekels for civilian needs, including welfare, health, and transportation. This is part of the previously promised 12-billion-shekel budget for the confrontation line, which had been stalled in government channels.Amir Bohbot contributed to this report.Follow us on Google
