A specific model of IDF drone has now killed two soldiers, and the report shows this was not a freak accident. The same class failed to detonate at least seven times before, and in three separate 2025 incidents it exploded while troops were actively examining it. The question shifts from whether the drone was faulty to why a known mechanical risk continued to be handled without precautions adequate to prevent lethal outcomes.
