On Monday, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant visited the Golani Brigade training base near Binyamina, including the dining hall struck on Sunday night by a Hezbollah drone, pledging to find solutions to the threat posed by the terror group’s unmanned vehicles.

The attack killed four soldiers and wounded dozens more.

“This is a difficult event with painful results,” he told Golani officers who witnessed the attack. “We must investigate it, study the details and assimilate the lessons in a quick and professional manner.”

Gallant continued: “Faced with the threat of UAVs, we are concentrating a national effort and are engaged in developing solutions that will help deal with the threat.”
