A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The issue with the headline is it implies the Lebanese are the aggressors, when Israel is using missiles to demolish infrastructure and killing indiscriminately so that they can occupy Lebanon and steal territory.
Also mention them as Pro-Iranian. They’re fighting against the destruction and occupation of Lebanon (where they’re from).
Yup, pro-Iran is a mislabel when they're obviously pro-Lebanon and anti-Israel first and foremost.
It’s interesting that Hezbollah and the IDF have swapped roles with Hez now the beleaguered defender against the rabid IDF similar to the way Iran seems to have the moral upper hand against the US aggressor. They both were on the nose about how rabid they were until a more rabid duo of Netanyahu and Trump kicked the door open and took centre stage.
We could be starting the development of interstellar travel to Alpha Centauri .... but instead we're developing murder bots to get land for rich people and do it all in the name of sky gods written about in books by semi literate superstitious ancestors that lived in the desert 3000 years ago.
🤔
O.O
That drone looks like it's got cringe face. Like "sorry, I know you wanted to kill, but uhhhh, this is gonna be awkward..."
Can't make this shit up
Drone warfare is becoming racialized just like terrorism in the media and for the same reason; it's accessible to oppressed people.
Notice how noble it is when a Ukrainian defends his home with murder bots. Let an Arab do the same thing and it's diabolical somehow.
It is amazing and heroic how the people of Hezbollah are defending themselves from these evil empires that are armed to the teeth with less resources and technology, their ingenuity and sacrifice is admirable.
Anything that helps kill more IDF oppressors is a good thing.
If you do what you love, you never work a day in your life
Don't love your job, job your love.
Used to race fpv drones, flying a drone (especially ones weighed down) with the precision to hit a moving person takes skill and is not easy, definitely not something you are doing without training or practice.
Now the ones that fly above with all the built in stabilization that drop the tiny ordnance, that's easy.
But good for them defending themselves with the means they have against this injustice.
While useful, you do have to be very close to the target to use this
Really depends on the drone honestly
They're specifically talking about drones that are fly-by-wire
I don't think anyone has invented a fiber optic cable with enough strength to stay attached for miles
The thing is, they have and they can, don't know what they are working with in Lebanon though.
