Israeli Airstrike Targeted Iranian Drone Factory
(New York Times) Ronen Bergman - A senior intelligence official briefed on the operation said that six suicide quadcopter drones exploded on an Iranian drone factory near Kermanshah on Feb. 12. The official said the facility was Iran's main manufacturing and storage plant for military drones, and that the Israeli attack destroyed dozens of them. Israeli military officials say that Israel has been attacked by Iranian drones several times. American officials say that Iran also provides drone technology to proxy forces in Iraq and Syria, who carry out strikes against American personnel in those countries with Tehran's blessing or direction, including an attack on the American base at Al Tanf, Syria, last October.
