Israel's Unmanned Aerial Vehicle squadron uses this military drone, The Heron, to keep watch on Lebanon, the West Bank, and Gaza (UAV officers cannot comment on any other locations the drones are currently deployed to). Israel uses UAVs for real-time reconnaissance during battle, escorting ground forces, weeding out terrorists in civilian areas, scanning the sea for unidentified vessels, and hunting for rocket and mortar launches. The Heron is capable of being outfitted with weapons.
