[IsraelAlma] From the beginning of the ceasefire until today (April 17 – June 15, 2026), Hezbollah carried out a total of 1,130 attacks against Israel. Of these, 629 involved UAVs and drones, constituting 55.6% of all attacks.

The following is a classification of the targets attacked using UAVs and drones, based on Hezbollah publications and additional open-source material:

Military forces and movement – 68.5% (431 attacks): This category includes attacks against military forces in motion and troop concentrations, as well as various types of military vehicles, including armored vehicles (tanks, APCs, and Namer APCs), tactical and logistical vehicles such as Humvees and trucks, and engineering vehicles such as D9 bulldozers and other heavy engineering equipment.

The high rate of attacks in this category, which accounts for more than two-thirds of all UAV and drone attacks, indicates that Hezbollah concentrated its attack efforts on targeting IDF forces operating in the field, in an attempt to erode their operational freedom of action, damage weapons and mobility assets, and cause casualties among combat forces.
