Speaking at the Modern Day Marine exposition last week, Lt. Col. #MichaelPruden told attendees that "40% of the UASs ... knocked out" by the IDF are cases of "#FriendlyFire".The self-inflicted #DroneLosses are the latest costly blunder of the #IDF's operations in #Gaza. Other incidents have included instances of friendly fire, with both Israeli soldiers and hostages reported to have fallen victim to such incidents. #Israelhttps://www.businessinsider.com/marine-says-nearly-half-drones-idf-downs-own-2024-5
