Sorry, Hezbollah misspelled in thread title. Moderator can you correct it?
I realize this is too early to know much about this, but what caught my eye was Hezbollah apparently using "unmanned aircraft." Who knows yet, perhaps the answer is out there with people that have followed this, but the question pops into my mind, where did they get this technology. Maybe from Iran, but I also seem to remember Saddam Hussein trying to develop this, and sure enough, here are the links. I have no idea if there is a connection.

I heard they have sticks and stones too.
The following seems like a pertinent site for information:

It appears some might have been supplied by Iran.
Apparently a false start on the drone report:

Nevertheless, the drones are a fear of the Israelis, and concerning the subject of rockets, apparently they come from Iran as well.
"unmanned aircraft." OMG!
How dare they fight back, lets warm up the Nukes!
