Israel will lease surveillance drones to Greece following a deal between the two countries' defense ministries, Bloomberg reports.

An inventor in an eastern Turkish village has managed to patent a robot that he designed to keep bears away from farms and gardens.

“My hand-made robot shocks bears or boars with 25,000 volts of electricity when it senses they are approaching,” 46-year-old Mustafa Karasungur told Doğan News Agency on Aug. 10 in his hometown, the village of Gölbaşı in Erzurum province.
