Hezbollah first acquired UAVs in 2002 and their first known use of a drone came on November 7, 2004. The party has continued to use UAV technology. In 2005, the organization possibly had just three "Mirsad-1" UAVs, and the organization used drones in the 2006 Lebanon War and lost several. Since 2014, Hezbollah drones have also been involved in reconnaissance over the porous Lebanese-Syrian border. Hezbollah has demonstrated weaponized civilian drones, and claims to have first used them in September 2014. In 2015 Hezbollah was using COTS quadrocopter UAVs to spot artillery fire in Syria. Syria is the party's first intensive use of drones.
