re: BREAKING: Hamas Deploying Suicide Drones Taking Out Iron Dome Sites

This whole story sounds like bullshite. These little drones are slow. If Israeli snipers and soldiers can't shoot them down, then they deserve to be attacked for their incompetence. To do any real damage, you would need a drone that needs a runway to take off. If Israel isn't monitoring the couple of places this can happen in Gaza, they again deserve to be attacked for their incompetence. This story just makes no sense.

Uhhh no. Your typical mobile radar dish can be taken out with a fragmentation grenade. The Iron done requires a very sophisticated radar system to direct each missile close enough to the rocket or projectile for the missile itself to then track and close in on the target. If these drones deployed by Hamas are similar to the ones used by Hezbollah in Syria then they have a warhead similar to a mortar round which is more than enough to incapacitate the Iron Dome battery or radar with an accurate hit. Suggesting that these drones should be knocked out by infantry with standard issue rifles or sniper rifles is silly.
