As part of our ongoing commitment and in accordance with our tradition every Saturday, today Handala RedWanted is releasing the names and full profiles of 14 principal designers behind the Israeli regime’s drone programs. These individuals play a central role in developing and advancing drone technologies that have been used extensively in military operations, resulting in numerous war crimes and violations of international law against innocent civilians.
By exposing their identities and detailing their involvement, we aim to hold them accountable for their direct participation in the systematic oppression and targeting of civilian populations. Our goal remains clear: to shed light on those who enable and execute such crimes, and to support the global movement for justice and accountability.
$30,000 for each of them
