H.R. 7178 — U.S.-Israel Anti-Killer Drone Act of 2026

This section states congressional findings on threats from Iran-origin unmanned systems, including intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, armed attacks, and loitering munitions targeting U.S. forces, allies such as Israel and Saudi Arabia, and infrastructure (e.g., 2018 incursion into Israeli airspace, 2019 Saudi oil strikes, 2021 Mercer Street tanker attack, 2023 Hamas attack, and 2025 strikes on Israel). It expresses the sense of Congress that the United States should enhance cooperation with Israel to expeditiously research, develop, and field mutually beneficial counter-unmanned systems technologies and exchange information on evolving Iran-origin threats.
