Hezbollah Flexes

Terrorist group/political party/microstate Hezbollah fired a shot across Israel's bows today, flying an unmanned drone airplane south to Acco and then turning around and flying home before Israeli forces could intercept it. The warning is clear: we can deliver a payload to your urban centers without risking a man. This is a potentially serious capability upgrade for Hezbollah, and while they are very unlikely to use it, it's another brick in the wall of deterrent offensive weapons that protects them from outside attack.
