Watch How Hezbollah Fighters Hunt Down Israeli Soldiers

Screen capture of a Hezbollah video showing FPV drone tracking Israeli soldier near Lebanon border (May 8, 2026).

Hezbollah Military Media released a new video on Saturday offering a rare look at how its fighters track and target Israeli troops along the Lebanon border, underscoring growing concerns over the group’s expanding drone capabilities.

The one-minute footage, dated Friday, May 5, opens with an FPV (first-person view) drone flying over an area under Israeli army control. The drone is seen tracking an Israeli soldier moving near a Merkava tank at the newly established Israeli position of Nemr Al-Jamal, opposite the southern Lebanese border town of Alma Al-Shaab.

The footage is considered significant as it highlights the ability of Hezbollah operatives to monitor and pursue Israeli forces across the border, despite Israel’s claims of full aerial superiority.

Hezbollah’s increasing use of FPV drones has emerged as a key concern within Israeli military and security circles, with officials warning that such UAVs pose a complex and evolving threat to troops operating along the southern Lebanon front.
