Hezbollah's 'new tactic' to combat Israeli air defencesLebanon-based Hezbollah has "almost certainly" adopted a new tactic which helps it evade Israeli air defences according to a leading military thinktank. In order to get its rockets and drones past defences, Hezbollah has started to use "indirect fire", according to the ISW. It cited examples where Hezbollah launched a combination of offensive drones, rockets and precision missiles at one city, while at the same time launching other attacks elsewhere. This tactic of, where "imprecise indirect fire" is used to mask precision strikes elsewhere is becoming more common among Iranian proxy groups, ISW said. s to distract air defences and then using precision weapons to strike targets has become common across Iran and its Axis of Resistance in recent years," ISW said.
