Silent drone is a new weapon for Hezbollah.. Germany arrests a Lebanese man on suspicion of belonging to it

Asharq Al-Awsat wrote: The German authorities arrested a Lebanese man named “Fadel Z.” on charges of belonging to “Hezbollah.” This comes two weeks after a German court issued the first ruling of its kind convicting two members of “Hezbollah” of belonging to a classified “terrorist” organization.

The Federal Prosecutor’s Office issued a statement yesterday announcing that the accused was arrested in the city of Salziger in the state of Lower Saxony, and stated that “Fadel” has been a member of the party banned in Germany for five years. It added that he bought from Germany “materials, specifically engines, used to assemble drones.”
He said that the pieces that the accused purchased on behalf of Hezbollah were “to be exported to Lebanon and used to launch attacks on Israel.”

Al-Akhbar wrote: Hezbollah introduces new weapons whenever the confrontation with the occupation forces develops. After the resistance’s war media revealed pictures of a “special” field artillery that bombards facilities used by enemy soldiers in the border settlements with Lebanon, the enemy’s media announced a new weapon that Hezbollah has introduced into the open battle for more than 9 months, which is a “Shahed 101” drone, which worries the occupation army. The Hebrew Broadcasting Corporation reported that Hezbollah launched the new drone a few days ago against a military target in northern occupied Palestine, and its explosion led to the death of a reserve officer named Valery Shabunov. The report indicated that the “Shahed 101,” unlike the drones used by Hezbollah, is an electric drone that can travel a distance of up to 900 kilometers, and is capable of carrying heavy ammunition. It has entered service in the Iranian Air Force, and is also used by resistance factions in Iraq and Yemen. He pointed out that Hezbollah began using the drone in its attack last week on the cooperative settlement of “Kabri” in the Western Galilee, 4 kilometers east of the coastal Nahariya.
According to the report, the drone is powered by an electric motor, can fly for long periods, and is less noisy, which prompted the enemy to call it the “silent drone,” in addition to its ability to carry explosives. It explained that the drone’s engine operates on an electric charging system and not on traditional fuel (gasoline) like the “Ababil” drone, in addition to the fact that the sound of its engine is low and can hardly be heard from the ground, in addition to the difficulty of detecting and intercepting it with radars.
