According to Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida, Iran has provided Hezbollah and other proxies with electromagnetic ordnance capable of disabling communication systems and shutting down radars.

Rotem Mey-Tal, CEO of Asgard Systems, likened this technology to an extreme power outage that affects all electrical and electronic systems, including critical medical equipment.

Mey-Tal speculated that the technology might be used in low-flying UAVs, similar to recent attacks by Iranian-backed forces, but noted that there is no historical precedent or detailed documentation for such weapons, the Jerusalem Post has reported.
