The militant group also kidnapped hundreds of people of varying ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local analysts expect the conflict will expand to Israel\u2019s northern border, given the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah is attacking from that direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Israeli Defense Ministry has available a range of weapons from the country\u2019s defense firms that could be used as ground forces prepare to enter Gaza, though government officials have kept their plans secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the new technologies that could see combat is the Spark drone developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and its subsidiary Aeronautics. The Israeli Air Force received the system last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not much is known about the Spark except for the Air Force\u2019s description of the drone as pivotal for \u201cmultidimensional warfare,\u201d intelligence missions and \u201cprecision-strike coordination.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Israel\u2019s Trophy active protection system for armored vehicles, also developed by Rafael, is expected to play a key role in disabling anti-tank weapons as forces advance. Already purchased by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2023\/09\/11\/rafael-inks-news-deal-to-put-trophy-system-on-uks-challenger-3-tanks\/\">various foreign armies<\/a>, the countermeasures suite is installed on Israel\u2019s Merkava IV tanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year Israeli forces also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2023\/09\/20\/israel-unveils-new-barak-tank-with-ai-sensors-and-cameras\/\" target=\"_blank\">began receiving the Barak tank<\/a>, which is the fifth iteration of the Merkava, equipped with an improved Trophy system and a radar target finder for its cannon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with additional cameras and sensors that provide situational awareness for the Barak tank crew, the platform can fight better than its predecessors with the tank hatches closed while the crew is protected inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The newest tank type has yet to enter the Israel Defense Forces on a large scale, but military leaders could use the Gaza incursion to test its promise of improved survivability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eyes will also turn to Rafael\u2019s Fire Weaver system, developed with the Israeli Defense Ministry\u2019s weapons development directorate. The networked sensor-to-shooter system is meant for maneuvering forces, and the company says it connects intelligence-gathering equipment to trigger weapons within one minute of target identification. The Fire Weaver has reportedly been operational since 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe campaign in Gaza consists of several stages, one of which is a ground incursion,\u201d retired Maj. Gen. Eitan Ben Eliyahu, a former Israeli Air Force commander, told Defense News. \u201cIt is also a structural environment, where each of the buildings might be a death trap for Israeli forces.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the new technologies that could see combat is the Spark drone developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and its subsidiary
