The IDF is increasing protection around Air Force bases in southern Israel, following the attempted attack at the British Air Force base in Fairford. The main concern, as reported by military correspondent Yossi Yehoshua, is copycat operations by Bedouin cells smuggling large quantities of weapons via drones from Egypt, near the bases. Yehoshua noted that the Air Force is changing its deployment in anticipation of the possibility of drone use on some bases, and that Shin Bet chief David Zini warned of the threat, but stronger Shin Bet involvement in the incident is required.
