Israel's National Guard to Deploy Tear Gas Drones in West Bank for Ramadan Security
DEFENSE
Israel's National Guard plans to deploy drone-mounted tear gas systems in the occupied West Bank during Ramadan. The police tenders committee approved three systems, known as 'Surprise Egg,' for approximately $49,000 to disperse gatherings.
The Israeli army is also increasing its presence with additional units in the area, amid concerns over access restrictions to the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The measures coincide with heightened tensions and security preparations for expected events during the holy month.
