Israel's military detect neutralizes IED's from the air

TEL AVIV [MENL] -- Israel's military has succeeded in detecting and neutralizing improvised explosive devices from the air.
Israeli officials said the Israel Defense Forces have combined air and ground forces to detect IEDs during military operations in the Gaza Strip. They said the military used unmanned air vehicles and helicopters to locate and neutralize bombs during the invasion of the southern Gaza Strip in May.
The method was used during Operation Rainbow, the incursion into Rafah in which the military searched for insurgents and weapons smuggling tunnels. Palestinian insurgents fought Israeli troops with light arms, rocket-propelled grenades, mortars and mines.
The Israeli military used a combination of air platforms to locate and destroy the IEDs. Officials said the Searcher unmanned air vehicle detected the bombs placed in alleyways and streets in Rafah. When the IEDs were located, the Israel Air Force summoned an Apache AH-64A attack helicopter to fire a missile to destroy the bombs.
