It’s amazing how the right tool for the job, applied properly, makes all the difference. We can learn (or reinforce) some self-defense lessons from this as well: (1) situational awareness is important, and technology can expand that capability, (2) “Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything”. (Credit to Wyatt Earp), and (3) after the encounter, it’s important to reassess to make sure the threat to you no longer exists.

From the article:
The incident occurred last month during a counterterrorism operation in the camp, during which IDF and Border Police eliminated 14 terrorists.
In the video, IDF forces are seen deploying an observation drone which identifies four armed terrorists preparing to launch an attack against the Israeli forces. When the terrorists spot the drone, they try to shoot it down.
The IDF forces then launched another drone that dropped explosives on the terrorists, eliminating them in two strikes.
