it reaches an apartment window where a

Israeli police are deploying drones as part of
efforts to stem the outbreak, allowing officers to
keep a safe distance from infected people. Israel
has also approved the use of phone-spying

to see such methods as crucial tools to prevent
the spread of the virus, which has infected
nearly 2 million people worldwide, killed more
than 120,000 and prompted economically
devastating lockdowns.
