Israel warns of Hezballah kidnapping of tourist

AP:

Israeli security officials on Monday warned citizens traveling in Egypt, Jordan and other Muslim countries to leave immediately due to a "concrete and severe" threat of terror attacks.

Israelis anywhere in the world should also be alert to the danger of being kidnapped by operatives from Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group, according to the announcement from Israel's National Security Council.

Israeli tourists are allowed to visit Egypt and Jordan, which have peace agreements with Israel. But the council said any Israeli citizens in those countries should cut their trips short.

...

The warning also included other Middle Eastern countries. the urgency of the warning suggest some intelligence relating to Hezballah's intentions. The Hezballah religious bigots started a war last year by kidnapping Israeli soldiers who are still being held. The cowardly war crime of kidnapping and extortion seems to be in vogue for Islamic religious bigots this year too, with the Taliban currently holding Korean hostages and threatening to take more. Giving in to the tactic will only insure more kidnappings by the cowards. The tactic has been counter productive when tried against Americans in Iraq, because US forces flood the zone of the kidnapping and arrest and detainee many more terrorist. They make it impossible for the terrorist to operate in that zone.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
