The Israel Defense Forces' official Twitter account brings us this festive holiday image to celebrate the miracle of a Skylark hand-launched surveillance drone staying aloft for eight hours, when it only had enough battery charge for an hour: IDF sources refused to comment on a rumor that the Hanukkah drones are commanded by an officer named "General Dreidel."

Yep, that's pretty much the spirit of Hannukah, once you set aside the competing-with-Christmas gifty stuff.
Needs more Judeo Christ. I give it a 2/10 on the Manly Scale of Absolute Gender.

Surveying the Golem Heights?
It is better to detonate one Hellfire than to curse the darkness.
They really only last seven days, since they can't fly them on the Sabbath.

(Crap -- I feel older every time we lose one of these guys.)
