Conversation with colleague David Aude, I'm John Batchelor, stun grenades, quadcopters along the

Israel-Lebanan border, to what end? And who knew is David to describe a quadcopter, off-the-shelf

quadcopter? Nothing fancy here. And its ability to secure the border more than you can imagine any patrol securing it.

Quadcopters are silent.

They're never far.

They are capable of surveillance.

Wonderful.

David explains much more of this later.

So most of what the quadcopters are dropping are stun grenades that are intended.

Yeah, like they're flashbang explosives, basically warning people to get away from an area

that the IDF doesn't want them to be operating in, especially if they're suspicious individuals.

What you also have, these quadcopters

occasionally issue warnings, voice recorded warnings telling people to clear from a certain area.

I think there was one or two incidents like that in the write-up that I did last week in the timeline

that I did last week for Long War Journal on Israeli

operations in Lebanon.

Basically, the Israelis are trying to tell people just stay away.

Occasionally, you will have incendiary or fragmentation explosives that are dropped

from these quadcopters.

More often than not, those are dropped from these quadcopters more often than not those are dropped on

construction equipment bulldozers excavators a lot of them are also dropped on homes along these border

areas or these frontier areas rather and the Israelis aren't saying exactly why these homes are being targeted.
