Throughout the month of September major military operations in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and other conflict zones were significantly influenced by UAS and counter UAS actions and incidents. There were similarly impactful UAS incidents related to law enforcement.

Most significantly, the world’s attention focused on the Middle East where Israel used exploding pagers and targeted airstrikes to decimate the leadership of Hezbollah inside Lebanon. The Israeli counter terror operations included the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah the Secretary-General of the terrorist group and Mohammed Srur, the head of its drone forces. The Israel decapitation operation and other major attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon, as well as Israeli attacks on Houthi terrorists in Yemen, was Tel Aviv’s response to eleven months of drone and missile attacks made by Iranian aligned terror groups against Israel.
