The Israeli Air Force (IAF) claims to have downed more than 150 drones using ground-based systems amid the ongoing Gaza war. The IAF said that hostile UAVs were targeted using ground-based systems such as Iron Dome as well as by fighter jets.Drone attacks have largely been carried out by Iran-backed groups in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Yemen. Hezbollah has increasingly been using explosive-laden drones, alongside anti-tank guided missiles and rockets in attacks on Israel.
