The Times reports that Hezbollah used a drone to launch an airstrike on Syrian rebels, the first confirmation that the terror group has successfully used a drone to carry out an attack. The commercially-available drone was jury-rigged to drop a payload taken from inside a Grad rocket. Hezbollah released a film of the attack. The Times notes that Hezbollah has sent explosive drones into Israel in the past, but they have been shot down.

Strikes in response to budget plans fill the Israeli news. A doctors’ strike, beginning today, is covered in Yediot Ahronot, Haaretz, Maariv and Israel Hayom. The doctors are demanding increases in the number of hospital beds, hiring of more doctors, and improved pay and conditions. However, Haaretz and Yediot Ahronot note that the particular trigger for the strike was a ban on hospital doctors taking on extra private work. Israel Hayom reports on last-minute attempts to prevent the strike.

Meanwhile, the Union of Local Authorities called a strike in schools and local government to coincide with the first day of the school year, 31 August. Haaretz claims that the local authorities object to plans to cut funding for schools in wealthy areas while raising them in poorer areas, and to redistribute council taxes from wealthy to poorer local authorities. They also object to the loss of income from a planned ban on National Lottery gambling machines.

Haaretz reveals that the Israel Defence Forces are investigating 20 incidents since October 2015 in which Palestinians have been killed. The cases include every Palestinian fatality in the West Bank “who isn’t involved in actual combat activity”.
