Daily update post:

If you remember the Bibas family, they were all kidnapped to Gaza on Oct 7, the father Yarden who left their house first, to protect his family, and then the mother Shiri, 4 years old Ariel, and the baby, 9 months old Kfir.

It is now confirmed that they were not kidnapped by Hamas, but rather by one of 26 terrorist organizations in Gaza, each one so small that they're usually referred to as terrorist factions, rather than terrorist organization. This one specifically has adopted a pattern of always cooperating with one of the bigger terrorist organizations (like Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad), so we can assume that's what they did on Oct 7 as well. The first 45 seconds or so from the following vid is what it looked like when Shiri, Ariel and Kfir were being kidnapped, you can see how terrified she is...

Below is new CCTV footage that the IDF has uncovered from a street in Khan Younis, so now we know which city in Gaza the three (Shiri, Ariel and Kfir) were kidnapped to. Shiri is seen barefoot, Ariel's head is sort of visible, Kfir isn't, but it's assumed he's under the blanket, and Shiri holding him close to her body. Because this footage is from Oct 2023, there's so much we still don't know. Are they still there? What's their current state? Nobody knows, but the IDF spokesman has confirmed that there is grave concern for their lives.

Yesterday, a Hezbollah attack drone crashed into Arbel, the mountain on which Tiberias (one of the 4 holy cities in Judaism) is built. For some reason, the siren didn't go off. The drone crashed not too far from a kindergarten, but thankfully no one was hurt. In response, Israel has struck Hezbollah's weapon warehouses in Lebanon. To the best of my knowledge, they're still checking why the siren warning failed, and which country was the drone launched from, Lebanon, Syria or Iraq.

A French report says that the terror tunnels Hezbollah has been digging for years on Israel's northern border are more complex and dangerous than the system Hamas has dug under Gaza. That's what Israeli soldiers will have to tackle if the northern front goes to a full scale war. The terror tunnels Hamas has dug since 2007 under Gaza are so much more developed, extensive, complex and dangerous than Israel has realized, and the IDF has had to develop new ways of fighting in and around them, which we did not have when the war in Gaza started. Hamas' terror tunnels were estimated to be bigger than the London Tube (underground train system) back in Dec 2023, and there have been more tunnels located since. Just to put things in perspective, London's size is 1572 square kilometers (607 square miles), more than 4 times bigger than Gaza, at 363 square kilometers (140 square miles), and has a smaller underground tunnel system, according to what we knew about Gaza two months ago. But people want Israel to sit back, and let these threats to the lives of Israeli civilians continue to grow freely... Just a reminder, on Oct 7, the way the terrorists got to the border fence, to destroy the cameras there, without being spotted on the way was thanks to their terror tunnels, and those tunnels allow them to hold Israeli hostages captives, and it allows Hamas terrorists a place to hide and strike from, and it's where some Israeli hostages were murdered.

Today in our corner, "Suuuure, it's anti-Zionism, not antisemitism, but somehow it keeps targeting Jews and Jewish identity," we got two stories from the UK. One is of a Jewish family sending their baby girl's birth certificate to issue her a passport got the document back torn and defaced, with the word "Israel" under "father's place of birth" scribbled over.

The second story is of how the Amy Winehouse statue, which has stood in Camden Market for essentially 10 years, has also been defaced, specifically the Star of David was covered with a Palestinian flag sticker.

This is Elyakim Libman.

On Oct 7, he worked at the Nova music festival as a guard. Survivors of the massacre there say he helped save quite a few people. At a certain point, he went back to retrieve the body of a murdered young woman, so it wouldn't be taken hostage by the terrorists, and that's when he ended up being kidnapped himself. He's been in Gaza for over 4 months, including during his birthday. The other day, he became an uncle. He was supposed to be his nephew's godfather, but didn't get to. His family said explicitly they want no terrorists to be released in order to free him, and that if Elyakim could weigh in, he would say the same.

On March 11, Syrian farmer Ali Ahmad Barakat was driving a tractor to his fields in the fertile rebel-held lands of the Al-Ghab plain, just a few miles away from the front line with Assadist forces. For years, Al-Ghab’s farmers had refused to let the violence scare them away from working their fields.

But Barakat was about to become the next victim of a terrifying new Syrian Army-piloted weapon: a dirt-cheap, kit-built suicide drone.

Attacking civilians with drones isn’t new, but until recently, the vast majority of these attacks were carried out by more expensive long- and medium-range drones specifically designed for military purposes—characteristics that limited them to a small number of actors worldwide.

Armed groups such as the Islamic State began to experiment with small, cheap, off-the-shelf and custom-built drones in the 2010s, taking advantage of the consumer drone boom, but their attacks were largely focused on military targets and objectives.

Now, the picture has changed.

Small, inexpensive drones have become an indispensable tool on modern battlefields, as combatants come up with ever more creative ways to use these tiny flying robots. Inspired by these tactics, some fighters in conflicts from Myanmar to Syria are starting to use drone warfare techniques recently refined in the Russo-Ukrainian War, such as the use of tiny and ultra-fast suicide drones crafted from cheap hobby racing kits, as well as consumer camera drones rigged to drop explosives, to target, kill, and terrorize civilians.

And we don’t know how to stop them.

Since Russia first invaded Ukraine in early 2022, I’ve been monitoring the crucial role of small drone technology in the conflict, motivated by the hope that better understanding drone warfare tactics might make it easier to protect civilians from their dangers.

This March, the Syrian White Helmets civil defense group contacted me. According to their information (which has been published in a recent report), more and more civilians in the rebel-held front-line areas were getting attacked with small suicide drones. According to a number of sources, Russian military specialists had recently begun training Syrian Army forces to use both first-person-view (FPV) suicide drones and anti-drone guns. Russia’s drone warfare techniques were beginning to spread.

The attacks have shocked even hardened medics. One White Helmets volunteer, Ali Obied, was in the first group of medical workers to arrive on the scene after Barakat was killed. “When we reached the site, we saw how the suicide drone attacked the driver directly—it killed him and slaughtered him into pieces. We collected the pieces of the driver one by one,” he said. They were forced to withdraw quickly from the scene when, over a walkie-talkie, a spotter informed them that other drones were hovering nearby.

Another volunteer, Walid Abdeen, responded to an attack on April 16 that hit multiple civilian cars and a public market, injuring five people. He was confident that a suicide drone was the culprit, an observation backed up by other witnesses who saw the drone in the air before impact.  “When suicide drones explode, nothing remains from it, just small pieces—but the sound of the drone is the same as those drones used by journalists,” Abdeen said.

The volunteers agreed that this similarity to peaceful drones was a problem. “It’s difficult for civilians to differentiate between them in the sky, and all of a sudden, they attack someone—a house, a center, or a car,” said Ismail Alabdullah, a media coordinator and volunteer for the White Helmets.

“Those drones, if they want to kill someone who is walking to his school, or even the White Helmets, if they’re returning to their [medical] centers—the drones can find individuals, attack the centers, kill directly,” Alabdullah added. “We have experience with mortars, rockets, and artillery shelling attacks. But this new weapon is incredibly dangerous because it is so precise and cheap to develop.”

White Helmets representatives say dozens of these FPV drone attacks are happening each week. Thanks to the terror spread by these relentless attacks, civilians who have hung on in Syria’s border regions for years are finally beginning to leave.

These drone-powered mechanisms for spreading mass civilian terror aren’t restricted to Syria: They are also on the rise in Ukraine. Targeted attacks by Russian drones on Ukrainian civilians rose dramatically this summer. And while top U.N. officials condemned this uptick in attacks to the Security Council in March, the onslaught shows no signs of stopping.

From July 1 to 21 alone, I collected 34 separate cases of alleged attacks on Ukrainian civilians by Russian drones, drawing from open-source information posted by official sources in the Ukrainian government. As in Syria, most attacks in Ukraine seem to be taking place near the front lines, where relatively short-range FPV racing and consumer drones can reach, and with the same goal of spreading terror.

On July 2nd, a Ukrainian woman was reportedly injured by an FPV drone while she stood in her backyard in Berislava. Days later, on July 11th, authorities reported that two female volunteers were injured after a Russian FPV drone hit a humanitarian aid delivery point in Stanislav. Then, on July 18th, Kherson Oblast’s governor reported that a 74-year-old man in Oleksandrivka was killed by a Russian drone attack – one of a number of older civilian victims.

Some attacks have hit moving civilian vehicles, including minibuses and personal cars—and a number of clearly marked humanitarian and medical vehicles. On Jan. 26, Ukrainian media reported that a Russian FPV drone had attacked a marked car belonging to an aid worker working with a NGO connected to the U.N. Refugee Agency’s humanitarian mission, destroying the car. A journalist who was riding in the vehicle said that it was “very likely that the operator could see the labels on the car.”

Later, on May 29, a Russian drone attack killed a Ukrainian ambulance driver and seriously injured his wife (who had been riding in the vehicle). Soon after, on June 8, Oleksandr Prokudin, the governor of Kherson oblast, reported that after a spate of shelling in the vicinity of Bilozerka, a Russian drone had attacked an ambulance that arrived on the scene to help, injuring the driver.

The tactic has spread beyond Ukraine and Syria. In Gaza, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reports that Israel has increasingly turned to small quadcopters to attack civilians and journalists, while Palestinian sources in Rafah told AFP in June that they lived in fear of “quadcopter drones, which mercilessly target anyone walking.” Israel has long used consumer-type quadcopters and racing drones for military purposes, including to drop tear gas on protesters in Gaza in 2018 and to counter so-called fire balloons sent from Gaza during the same period.

In Myanmar, rebel groups fighting the military junta have become adept at using small, cheap consumer and custom-built drones for both intelligence-gathering and for attacks. In recent months, Myanmar’s junta has begun to catch up: In September and October 2023, villagers in the Sagaing region said they were repeatedly attacked by bomb-dropping regime drones.

In another incident this July, the Insecurity Insight NGO reported that armed Myanmar military drones attacked a health center in the Sagaing region, killing a midwife, her two-year-old child, and at least five patients affiliated with the local resistance forces, as well as injuring at least 15. The patients who were killed reportedly had been injured in an earlier military drone attack, and had been seeking care for their injuries at the time

Mexico’s drug cartels, too, have become frequent users of consumer and DIY drones in recent years, both for smuggling and for terrorism. Like Bashar al-Assad’s forces, the cartels appear to view these sudden, shocking drone attacks as an effective way to terrorize civilians into ceding strategically valuable territory. In May 2023, more than 600 people were reportedly displaced from communities in Mexico’s Guerrero state due to cartel drone attacks, and attacks since then in the state have reportedly killed civilians and targeted local schools.

These tactics are spreading, and there is little guidance for civilians, including journalists and aid workers, on how to deal with them. Most existing writing on the subject is geared toward attacks from larger, more powerful, and stealthier long-range military drones.

Thankfully, there are some things the international community can start doing today.

National and international bodies and organizations concerned with civilian protection, such as the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross, should come together to strategize around how best to protect people from small drone attacks. These groups should loudly condemn the terrorist attacks and investigate possible violations of international humanitarian law—as well as sponsoring the research and reporting needed to better understand the problem.

Russia’s war in Ukraine has led to the rapid development of new technologies for detecting drone radio signals in the air, new tools for electronically disabling drones, and a wide variety of other basic drone defense tactics (including the revelation that you can hide from thermal sensors by throwing a yoga mat over your head). Perhaps some of these tools and tactics could be adopted for civilian use.

Finally, we need more collective clarity around the legality of attacks on civilians with small drones under international humanitarian law as well as the legality of civilian efforts to defend themselves. Currently, interpretation of the law doesn’t adequately account for tiny flying robots in combat. As I wrote with my colleague Ossama A. Zaqqout in 2018 (and again in 2022), the presence of identical-looking small drones in the airspace over today’s conflicts makes it very hard for people on the ground to tell whose drone is whose.

Under international humanitarian law’s principle of distinction, combatants must distinguish themselves from civilians—but unlike manned aircraft, drones are too small to carry marks visible from the ground, and they can’t respond to radio checks. We need better solutions to avoid these cases of mistaken identity.

There’s also uncertainty around how humanitarian law might apply to civilian efforts to anticipate—and defend themselves against—drone attacks. Will civilians lose their noncombatant status if they use counterterrorism tools against small drones? Do civilians lose protection if they monitor radio waves for armed drone presence and report that information to combatants—or if they post that information online in a public place?

As is the case with so many other novel consumer technologies, we’ve swiftly figured out how to use drones both to help humanity and to hurt it. But civilians aren’t doomed to be easy targets—as long as we summon the international will to find ways to protect them.

ISRAEL NEWS SUMMARY - by Israel Realtime

🔸DEAL(s).. all reports concur that Israel has accepted painful terms for a ceasefire and hostage release - to be able to get hostages released and placate the Americans. Hamas seems to be demanding extreme terms with little flexibility and blocking the deal since Israel won’t accept “lose the war” terms.

In Lebanon, US mediators have made no progress.

🔸PROPAGANDA.. Hamas “food truck massacre 1” was effective but only for a few days, as Israel’s video based response (actual drone video) convinced the media to quietly drop it.

 “Food distribution site - massacre 2” did not get traction, lack of pictures limiting impact.

They are trying to get traction on “Palestinian women were sexually abused in Israeli custody”, to offset the UN accepted report on severe rape and abuse during the massacre and to hostages - even children, but so far only minor traction.

The propaganda winner is “Gaza starvation”.  That campaign has full traction with photos of 2 Gaza babies with starvation features actually due to medical conditions, and has been picked up into policy response by the US and UK, and is being turned into Ramadan ads for the Arab world.  

🔸GAZA BATTLES.. the IDF continues to report heavy battles in Khan Yunis - south Gaza, as well as in central Gaza. 

🔸LEBANON CROSS-BORDER ATTACKS.. from Hezbollah: daily rocket, suicide drone, and anti-tank missile fire - with the addition of Katyusha rocket barrages of 30-50 rockets. Katyushas are small and inaccurate but make up for it with volume.

From Israel, airstrikes on Hezbollah used buildings throughout south Lebanon using ‘large’ bombs, often resulting in total building destruction. Also targeted strikes on leadership personnel, often in vehicles.

🔸UN.. The US is supposedly bringing a UN Security Council resolution on a ceasefire, but it requires the parties to agree and the hostages to be released.

South Africa has appealed to the International Criminal Court citing “widespread starvation” in Gaza (see Propaganda item 4 above), demanding they order Israel to allow increased aid.

🔸AID.. Israeli anti-aid protestors have been generally successful in slowing the pace of aid by blocking inspection crossings daily. Recently the police, under orders from the government, have increased their actions to clear such protests.

Aid airdrops made great optics, but videos by Gazans show some contempt for the products received (such as Skittles), and some are expired (from Arab countries). They also note MRE’s (meals-ready-to-eat long-term food packs used by the military) seem small and not satisfying. 

Aid entering Gaza continues to be either attacked and looted by crowds, endangering the drivers and damaging the trucks, or immediately hijacked by Hamas. The question is not “is enough aid entering” but ‘WHERE IS IT GOING? WHO’S STEALING IT?”, and noting a fair amount of it then shows up in the markets for sale.

🔸RED SEA & THE HOUTHIS.. the Houthis have upped their shipping attack pace, targeted 1-2 cargo ships a day. They have also now directly targeted U.S. warships. They have hit a number of cargo ships with moderate damage, have sunk one, and have now killed a crew and caused the abandonment of another.

The U.S. / UK shipping protection coalition is shooting down drones and missiles daily, as well as bombing Yemen daily. However statements from U.S. military officials indicate the US is having problems finding valid targets - their intelligence on Yemen is poor.

Types of Drones and Ways to Counter Them

Did you know that the global sales of drones are likely to reach USD 223.66 billion by 2034? (https://www.factmr.com/report/62/drone-market#:~:text=Worldwide%20sales%20of%20drones%20are,of%20applications%20across%20various%20sectors.) Yes, you read it right! Owing to the affordability of drones, they are now easily accessible to more people. When used in the right way, they can significantly benefit several industries, including film-making, agriculture, and construction. However, if the technology goes into the wrong hands, it can pose a serious threat to the security and privacy of critical infrastructures and risk the lives of people. That is why leveraging the counter-drone measures is the need of the hour.

In this blog, you will explore the common types of drones and how the anti-drone systems can help counter them. Let’s dive in!

Types of Drones

Before you start looking for counter-unmanned aircraft systems, having an idea about the common drone types is crucial. Read on to explore everything in detail!

Fixed-Wing Drones

These drones come with a more aeroplane-like design and require a flight path. Owing to their aerodynamic capabilities, they can reach higher elevations and speeds. The fixed-wing drones can be leveraged by malicious users to carry large payloads like explosives due to their greater stability. Moreover, they can also be employed for large-scale illegal surveillance.

Multi-Rotor Drones

Multi-rotor drones are small in size and have excellent control abilities. Moreover, they are versatile and easy to use, making them an ideal choice for the novice pilots. While they prove beneficial for videography and photography, they can also be used for illegal surveillance by malicious individuals. As a result, they can pose a threat to the privacy and security of people.

Single-Rotor Helicopter Drones

These drones have a lot of similarity with the real helicopters. For instance, they come with a top-mounted rotor and a tail for increased stability. Moreover, the single-rotor drones have great payload capacity, speed, and flight time. Compared to other UAVs, these drones are heavier and have complex controls. As a result, there is a high chance of collision and significant damage if not operated by professionally trained individuals.

Fixed-Wing Hybrid Drones

The fixed-wing hybrid model offers incredible versatility and is ideal for long-distance flying. No doubt, these drones are ideal for applications like search and rescue, aerial mapping, agriculture, and utility inspection. However, when they are leveraged by malicious individuals, they can pose a serious threat to life and property.

Ways to Counter the Illegal Drones

Are you wondering how to effectively counter the growing threats posed by different drones? Delve into the key anti-drone technologies you can leverage!

Drone Detectors

The detectors help continuously monitor the restricted airspace and identify malicious drones. They can provide early warnings about approaching threats and offer you sufficient time to plan strategies and counter them effectively. Be sure to evaluate the drone detection radar price and avail of the right technology that fits your budget.

Drone Jammers

Once illegal UAVs are detected, the RF drone jammer affects the communication link and prevents the drones from performing the intended mission. As a result, they become useless, and improving the safety of your airspace becomes easy.

Conclusion

The demand for anti-drone solutions will continue to increase in recent times. Are you looking for reliable counter-drone technologies at affordable prices? NovoQuad Group is the perfect choice.
