Do you have a credible source from the IDF attesting to this?

And do you believe the IDF would conduct a demonsttation after it has already committed to a system?

it been all over Israeli news. not exactly "news"

what demonstration are you talking about ? if you are talking about whatever was published in february, it's mostly for more tactical/mobile use i believe.

there is an issue that north of israel is very hilly, so it's possible to fly drones from lebanon below radar visibility range and then just to get them pop-up 50km away from border. it was major problem last year and the publicized trials a believe concentrated on sourcing systems to solve this issue.
