The enemies understand the power of Israel’s defense system , the world is once again with us and understands who is behind Hamas, we gained a lot of experience in the face of hundreds of missiles fired at the same time and we learned lessons, we once again strengthened the warm relationship with the USA and Britain and our deterrent power
Hundreds of missiles and UAVs launched into the State of Israel could have caused tremendous damage to any country in the world, but when the missiles were directed against Israel, the attack was almost completely stopped by the detection and interception systems of Israel and its allies. The technological and operational lessons that Israel learned from the attack will serve it for years to come. As US President Joe Biden pointed out, a great victory for Israel in the defense battle against Iran,
The Iranians were frightened in advance by the possibility that they would succeed in causing real damage to Israel, but they had no choice, they had to respond and Israel had to prove its ability.
Iran was afraid of firing towards the city centers, so it chose to hit the air force bases in Nebatim and the courtyards, and the bases and warning and intelligence collection facilities in Judea and Samaria and the Golan Heights. The method was to “saturate” Israel’s defense systems and paralyze them by simultaneously launching hundreds of missiles and UAVs, thus overcoming the lack of surprise and the participation of the Americans. Their solution was quantity.
Bottom line – Iran’s historic and unprecedented attack failed. Israel defeated, together with the US and other allies, the massive air operation.
This is the first time ever that a country has successfully dealt with swarms that included more than 100 drones and the launch of about 30 cruise missiles. By comparison, the Iranian attack on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia in 2019 involved 17 drones and four cruise missiles, and these were also not were intercepted. Israel’s air defense system and the IDF’s ICT system could not expect such a practice, whose technological and operative lessons will benefit them for many years to come.
Another achievement for Israel – finally, finally we heard sympathetic reviews in the world.
In the Israel vs. Iran game – the world chooses Israel and understands more than ever that Israel’s war is not only against Gaza, nor Lebanon and Syria, but against the head of the snake who is activating them from afar and wants to take control of the entire Middle East.
In this attack, Israel received an opportunity to restore its political and cognitive legitimacy in the international arena that had faded throughout the Iron Swords War.
Another achievement for Israel – the USA, Britain, France and even Jordan did not shy away from Iran’s threats:
The Americans took on the front defense and added to it the fighter jets of Great Britain and France, who also saw the Iranian move as a dangerous act of aggression that could – in the event of losses and damage to Israel – ignite a regional war. The Americans, the British, the French, the Jordanians and the Egyptians had a clear interest in preventing the success of the attack, so that Israel would not respond with a massive military strike on Iranian territory, after which the dangerous scenario would materialize.
How will Israel react, if it does?
The main question is whether and how Israel will respond after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Galant and Minister Benny Gantz have been authorized by the cabinet to outline the response.
On the agenda is the question of deterrence for the future, after the Ayatollahs dared to do what they were afraid to do in the past. If Israel does not react painfully to the attack, the Ayatollahs and Israel’s enemies, but also the countries of the region who want to strengthen their ties with Israel because of that Iran, may see this as a weakness.
On the other hand, Israel’s allies – the US, UK, France, Germany and Canada – are pressing to avoid a disproportionate response that could endanger stability in the region.
What does Iran tell its people?
As expected, Iran is trying to turn the failure into a victory in its internal public opinion through fake news, but it is clear to us that it is a matter of days until the majority of Iranian citizens know the truth and this will be another blow to the prestige of the regime and its ability to threaten its environment.
The other regional players also saw that the USA is indeed cast in iron when it promises to stand by Israel, and along the way the Americans in the region bought themselves credibility and deterrence that they had lost in recent years.
