The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah claimed responsibility for a cross-border drone and missile attack in northern Israel on Wednesday that the Israeli military said had injured 14 soldiers, six of them severely. It was one of the most damaging attacks in recent months by Hezbollah, Iran's most powerful regional proxy, in its continuing clashes with Israel. The attack came a day after Israel's targeted killing of two Hezbollah commanders as fears continue to grow of a broader conflict between Israel and Tehran, which mounted a wide aerial attack on Israel over the weekend. An internal Israeli army memo said an initial investigation found that Hezbollah had fired two anti-tank rockets at an Israeli Bedouin border village, Arab al-Aramshe, before dispatching an exploding drone. An Israeli military spokeswoman declined to comment on the memo.

Customer reports that Tesla has halted deliveries for its futuristic Cybertruck amid allegedly dangerous safety issues with its gas pedal come as no surprise to one former insider. 'After I left, it got worse,' said Balan, who is suing her former boss Elon Musk's electric car company for defamation. 'I have quite a few people that are right now in Tesla,' Balan said. 'They brought some serious safety issues to my attention.' New Cybertruck owners have described its gas pedal as a'deathtrap,' demonstrating how the pedal cover can slide off the accelerator and become snagged on the carpet, locking it in place and spurring the car to accelerate at top speed.

Video captures the moment and aftermath of what appears to be a drone, allegedly of Ukrainian origin, striking Russian drone production facility. Russian officials claimed that only a worker's dormitory was hit. Three Russian missiles slammed into a downtown area of the northern Ukrainian city of Chernihiv on Wednesday, hitting an eight-floor apartment building and killing at least 14 people, authorities said. At least 61 people, including two children, were wounded in the morning attack, Ukrainian emergency services said. Chernihiv lies about 90 miles north of the capital, Kyiv, near the border with Russia and Belarus, and has a population of around 250,000 people.

The river in the small city of Penza suddenly turned green, residents said. The Ukrainian infantryman, call sign "Ray", said he quickly pulled on his gas mask after a Russian drone flying above his trench on the eastern front dropped a tear gas grenade. "It's like pepper spray, it makes your eyes tear up. It's not lethal, but it disturbs and knocks you out. It makes it very difficult to carry out your duties once you've inhaled it," he told Reuters of the attack he said he experienced in January.

Tehran, Iran – Israel has pledged to "exact a price" from Iran in response to missile and drone attacks launched by Tehran in retaliation to the deadly bombing of its consulate in Syria at the beginning of this month. Israel's war cabinet has met several times to debate a course of action to complement a diplomatic push against Iran since Saturday's unprecedented direct attacks on Israel, with Israeli army chief of staff Herzi Halevi saying a military response is certain. Iranian President Raisi threatened a "massive and harsh response" on Wednesday if Israel decides to launch a direct military assault on Iranian soil. So how effectively can Iran defend itself if such an attack occurs? For decades, Iran has increasingly insisted on relying on its local capabilities when it comes to its economy, but a similar push can also be seen in its military sector.

Relative drone-to-drone localization is a fundamental building block for any swarm operations. We address this task in the context of miniaturized nano-drones, i.e., 10cm in diameter, which show an ever-growing interest due to novel use cases enabled by their reduced form factor. The price for their versatility comes with limited onboard resources, i.e., sensors, processing units, and memory, which limits the complexity of the onboard algorithms. A traditional solution to overcome these limitations is represented by lightweight deep learning models directly deployed aboard nano-drones. This work tackles the challenging relative pose estimation between nano-drones using only a gray-scale low-resolution camera and an ultra-low-power System-on-Chip (SoC) hosted onboard. We present a vertically integrated system based on a novel vision-based fully convolutional neural network (FCNN), which runs at 39Hz within 101mW onboard a Crazyflie nano-drone extended with the GWT GAP8 SoC. We compare our FCNN against three State-of-the-Art (SoA) systems. Considering the best-performing SoA approach, our model results in an R-squared improvement from 32 to 47% on the horizontal image coordinate and from 18 to 55% on the vertical image coordinate, on a real-world dataset of 30k images. Finally, our in-field tests show a reduction of the average tracking error of 37% compared to a previous SoA work and an endurance performance up to the entire battery lifetime of 4 minutes.

Hezbollah and the Israeli army confirm a commander of the armed group was killed in a drone strike on a car in southern Lebanon. The strike on Ismail Yusaf Baz comes as Hezbollah claims to have hit an Israeli Iron Dome battery, causing casualties among the Israeli crew.

With their origins in the world of drone racing, FPV drones (that's first-person view for the uninitiated) offer a faster, smoother, and more exciting flying experience than the camera drones we've typically covered in the Gear section. To use a gross oversimplification, if standard drones, like the new WIRED Recommended DJI Air 3, fly like helicopters, FPV drones behave more like airplanes. While most drones are designed to remain as steady and level as possible in the air--all the better to provide a stable platform for photography and videography--FPV drones can bank, drift, climb, and plunge acrobatically, and even pull off loops, flips, and barrel rolls in the hands of a skilled pilot. Go to YouTube and have a look if you want to see how incredibly agile these things can be. DJI's Avata 2 aims to bring the skill requirements needed for FPV flight down, while still offering an exhilarating first-person experience.

Rep. Randy Weber, R-Texas, joined'Fox & Friends First' to discuss the latest on what's expected with Israel's response as House lawmakers are expected to weigh several foreign aid bills this week. Israel's foreign minister on Tuesday said he is calling for additional sanctions on Iran in response to the missile and drone attack that targeted Israel over the weekend. Foreign Minister Israel Katz said he sent letters to 32 countries urging them to impose new sanctions on the Iranian missile project and declare the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a terrorist organization. "Alongside the military response to the firing of the missiles and the UAVs, I am leading a diplomatic offensive against Iran," Katz posted on X. He said additional sanctions would "stop and weaken Iran."

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld gives his take on Iran's missile and drone attack against Israel on'Gutfeld!' Like I said, over the weekend, Iran launched an all-out attack on Israel, shooting as many as 300 drones and rockets at the Jewish state. By that metric, it was far more dangerous to be on the New York subway this weekend than strolling around Tel Aviv. Seriously, you have a better chance of getting hurt trying to take a burrito from Whoopi Goldberg. Give credit to Israel's air defense system, Iron Dome, which is the same nickname we gave Jesse Watters' head. Now, however, give the Iranians their due.
