The center added that drone attacks on Israel increased from seven in February to 24 in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Israel Defense Forces placed drone-detection systems across the northern border to improve the response time and accuracy of interceptions, and in the military\u2019s Northern Command established a unit dedicated to targeting drones. Still, Hezbollah was reportedly able to send a drone into Israeli airspace in May to attack a military facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/mideast-africa\/2019\/03\/25\/morocco-cleared-for-massive-f-16-fighter-buy\/\" target=\"_blank\">The M61<\/a> is a six-barrel, electrically fired Gatling-style rotary cannon able to fire 6,000 rounds per minute. It has been in use on the U.S. military\u2019s fixed-wing aircraft for decades. The American firm General Dynamics produces the weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has also been in service with the Israel Air Force since 1975, and received modifications as the Machbet variant. The force stationed the weapon at the northern border on top of the M113 armored personnel carrier, known locally as the Bardehlas, until it was retired in 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use of the Vulcan cannon relies mainly on ground forces identifying UAV threats to target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Israeli defense companies that currently provide counter-drone products are Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries. Both companies declined to comment for this story, as did the Israeli Defense Ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, an IDF spokesperson told Defense News that the military \u201cdoes not have Vulcan cannons at the moment. It, along with others solutions, are being tested at this stage in trials in the defense industries as part of our process of building military strength in the war.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere are a variety of measures, some in an operational trial, and others in the research and development phase, alongside adjustments in the operational activity in the field,\u201d the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The potential acquisition comes as Israel clashes with the Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah, which
