Israel's military has tools to take down Hamas' new drone arsenal, but actually using them may not be easy

• Israel is poised to launch a ground operation in the Gaza Strip following an attack by Hamas.
• In the decade since the last major IDF operation in Gaza, Hamas has acquired a number of drones.
• Israel has counter-drone capabilities, but using them effectively in urban combat may be difficult.

Israel has been a pioneer in drone warfare, producing an array of reconnaissance and strike drones. But when Israeli troops enter Gaza in retaliation for Hamas' slaughter of more than 1,300 Israeli civilians, it will be their turn to face a threat from unmanned aerial vehicles.
