Transcript 0:00 [Music] welcome to 72-hour Global News tensions in the Middle East continue to rise with Israel's struggle against pro-iranian armed elements most recently the Iranian backed houthis in Yemen attacked the Israeli city of Tel Aviv with a long-range unmanned aerial vehicle a longrange drone hitting the center of Tel Aviv killed one person and injured four others the explosion news which suggested that the images shared on social media came from the sea and did not trigger air rate alerts was shared hours after the Israeli Army confirmed that the iranian-backed Hezbollah militia in southern Lebanon had killed a senior Commander following this critical attack the Israeli Army was expected to mobilize against the houthis but no one could have predicted that Israel would respond so quickly a little more than 24 hours after the 1:00 houthis attacked Tel Aviv with drones Israeli Air Force fighter jets shifted their focus to the yemeni port of Hoda and the pilots of the fighter jets pressed the fire button the iaf attack on the yemeni port of Hoda was carried out by 20 fighter 1:16 jets some of which were refueled in the 1:18 air some 2,200 km from Israel and 200 km 1:23 fur further from 1:25 tyan this distance marked a new record 1:28 for the duration of the war 1:30 F35 and F-15 fighter jets reconnaissance 1:34 and refueling aircraft participated in 1:37 the Israeli attack in particular it is 1:40 said that there were a large number of 1:41 tanker aircraft refueling the f-35s and 1:45 F15 SE such a huge air fleet reportedly 1:49 hit arms Depot a power station and oil 1:52 refinery facilities in Hoda this 1:55 critical operation by the Israeli Air 1:57 Force was a cumulative response to the 2:00 attacks by drones and missiles numbering some 220 in the last 9 months most of which were intercepted and shot down by us Central Command and the air defense system in addition the Israeli strike was widely reported around the world not only because of the hthi Drone attack on 2:18 Tel Aviv but also because it was the 2:20 first time a houthi attack had crossed 2:22 airspace and caused 2:23 casualties the attack had been planned 2:25 for a long time but was prepared for 2:27 execution in a short period of time by 2:30 the iaf and with the knowledge of the 2:32 United States as of yesterday prior to 2:35 the decision to attack Israel had 2:37 recognized that the houthi appetite had 2:39 increased after their success on Friday 2:41 morning and were reluctant to be 2:43 satisfied with the attack on Tel Aviv 2:46 the fact that the attack could be 2:47 carried out within 24 hours after these 2:50 announcements was due to the preliminary 2:52 preparations in the Air Force and a 2:54 series of discussions on the subject in 2:55 recent weeks the last meeting on the 2:57 subject took place 10 days ago with gan 2:59 hunt he commanded the operation from the 3:02 Kira bunker in the presence of the chief of the general staff and the commander of the Air Force the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense with the success of the command the yemeni port of Hoda was virtually destroyed by fighter jets of the Israeli Air Force it is very critical that Israeli fighter jets hit the port of Hoda in the attack operation hod Port is one of the main 3:25 routes through which military equipment 3:26 and weapons from Iran enter Yemen about 3:30 70% of the goods that arrive there go to 3:32 the houthis who blackmail them with 3:34 protection for humanitarian Aid arriving 3:37 in the region for all these reasons the 3:40 attack damaged infrastructure that will 3:42 affect its function as a Supply route 3:44 for weapons launched at Israel it also 3:47 targeted energy infrastructures that 3:49 beyond their use are a source of income 3:52 for pro-iranian militias in Yemen these 3:55 militias have damaged dozens of ships 3:58 seriously affecting global trade rout 4:00 and the world economy it is now rumored that it will take a long time for the militias in Yemen to recover from the Israeli attack because it seems that Israel will not give up its plans to attack the houthis in Yemen experts stated that Israel was given despite realizing that such an action would lead to long-term blows 4:19 because in Tel Aviv an assessment was 4:22 made that not responding to the Drone 4:24 would be heavier in terms of deterrence 4:26 against Iran Hezbollah and the houthis 4:30 therefore Israel did not want to leave 4:31 the houthi Drone attack on Tel Aviv 4:34 unanswered there are groups who think 4:37 that Israel's silence on this issue will 4:39 create significant advantages in the 4:41 international diplomatic 4:43 Arena however War experts and analysts 4:46 who think differently on this issue 4:48 think that the houthis will mobilize 4:49 again with the support of Iran after 4:52 Israel struck the Yemen Port of Hoda 4:55 analysts are concerned that the houthis 4:57 May Target Tel Aviv or another Israeli 5:00 city again could the houthis launch air strikes on Israeli territory again after IDF Jets hit the port of HDA to answer this question we will need to explore the potential of the houthi weapons Arsenal one of the most important elements of the houthi military resource potential is drones the Iranian backed houthis have been using drones for a decade starting with Yemen's Civil War Iranian support for them increased when Saudi Arabia intervened in Yemen in 5:31 2015 to prevent the houthis from seizing 5:34 Aiden and other key parts of the country 5:37 this helped them develop a large arsenal 5:39 of drones the houthis chose to develop 5:42 drones because it was a cheap way to 5:44 create a kind of instant Air Force the 5:47 houthis in Yemen had no resources and 5:50 their power came from their relatively 5:52 poor supporters in the mountains of 5:53 Yemen it therefore seemed logical for 5:56 the houthis to choose Iha development in 5:59 order to to carry out less costly and 6:01 more effective 6:02 attacks however with Iranian support the 6:05 houthis in Yemen have built an 6:07 impressive arsenal of missiles and 6:09 drones after 2015 the houthis used these 6:13 Iranian supplied military resources to 6:15 terrorize Saudi Arabia in particular the 6:19 houthis used kamikazi drones to attack 6:22 air defense Radars the first houthi 6:24 drones were simple and the houthi soon 6:26 invested in kamakazi drones based on the 6:29 Iranian ababel family of drones the cf1 6:32 was the hou's first significant kamakazi 6:35 drone as of July 2019 the houthis had 6:39 developed at least eight types of drones 6:41 which they displayed at an event these 6:44 included the cf1 and its successor the 6:47 kasf 2K the houthis also had several 6:50 drones of the same OD family in their 6:52 inventory including Cod 1 2 and three 6:56 among the drones developed by the 6:57 houthis the hoodhood rakib and rossed 7:00 drones were also 7:01 important to get an idea of the size and 7:04 capabilities of these drones let's take 7:06 a look at a few of them in terms of 7:09 critical air strikes according to 7:10 Israeli military sources houy 7:13 surveillance drones such as hudood raked 7:15 and rased are not that important because 7:18 these drones are small and do not have a 7:20 long 7:21 range CF however had an initial range of 7:24 about 160 km and was about 3 m long this 7:29 drone had a a wingspan of 3 m the 7:32 kamakazi Drone weighed up to 90 kg with 7:34 the Warhead and flew at a speed of about 7:36 320 7:38 kmph the CF has a strange design with 7:41 long wings at the rear and short wings 7:43 at the front in this respect this drone 7:46 was similar to a cheap cruise missile 7:48 the CF series of drones was soon 7:51 supplemented by the Samad series which 7:53 resembled a large model 7:55 aircraft this drone has a simple long 7:58 rectangular wing a v-shaped tail and a 8:01 fuselage resembling a long tube the Iha 8:04 can carry a warhead on its body and can 8:07 also be used as a kamakazi drone this 8:10 type of drone design is one that the 8:12 houthis probably borrowed from other 8:14 drone designs such as Israel's Hermes 8:17 450 samad's range was eventually 8:20 extended to over 1,600 km these long 8:24 range drones were not that heavy and 8:26 usually weighed no more than 45 kg 8:30 their Warheads contained about 9 to 18 8:33 kilos of 8:34 explosives these specifications could 8:37 probably be modified to narrow down a 8:39 longer 8:40 range expert Fabian hins of The 8:43 International Institute for strategic 8:44 studies published a thread discussing 8:47 what type of drone may have been used in 8:49 the attack on Tel Aviv in X he 8:52 established that it was probably a Samad 8:54 drone on the other hand in late 2020 the 8:57 yemen-based houthis also captured Iran's 9:00 shaad 136 drone the wings of the 9:04 kamikazi Drone are delta-shaped and 9:06 basically resemble a flying 9:08 triangle this Iha is not very large only 9:11 3 m long and weighing about 180 9:15 kg taking all this into account it is 9:18 clear that the threat from Yemen has a 9:20 critical potential for 9:21 Israel the houthi Drone Arsenal is 9:24 impressive and they have terrorized 9:26 shipping and their range seems to be 9:28 expanding 9:30 however drones do not have large 9:32 warheads and the amount of Destruction 9:34 they can cause has so far been 9:36 limited nevertheless the drones in the 9:39 houthi inventory can be programmed to 9:41 deliver Precision strikes on a variety 9:43 of targets this makes them very 9:46 dangerous the houthis develop this drone 9:48 Arsenal with Iranian assistance the 9:51 yemeni houthis are expected to continue 9:53 expanding their drone Arsenal in the 9:55 meantime the houthis are expected to 9:57 attack Israel with drones again 9:59 although this situation causes great 10:01 concern within the Israeli government 10:04 and among the citizens of the country it 10:06 is necessary to take into account the 10:08 power of the Israeli Army against the 10:10 military potential of the houthis if the 10:13 houthis decide to attack again and 10:15 Target any City in Israel the military 10:18 power of the IDF will undoubtedly come 10:20 into play for 10:22 retaliation if Israel has one of the 10:24 most powerful armies in the Middle East 10:26 backed by billions of dollars in US 10:28 military aid that Prov provides the 10:29 country with the latest military 10:31 technology including jet fighters and 10:34 advanced 10:34 drones the United States provides Israel 10:37 with $3.8 billion in annual military aid 10:41 and has provided billions more in arms 10:43 purchases since the start of the war in 10:45 Gaza in addition the Israeli Army has 10:48 about 10:49 170,000 active personnel and 465,000 10:54 reservists late last year the Army had 10:57 more than 20 brigades and more than 10:59 60,000 soldiers deployed for the war in 11:01 Gaza but has since reduced its footprint 11:04 in The Enclave to one Brigade tens of 11:07 thousands of troops have been deployed 11:08 on Israel's northern border with Lebanon 11:11 to deter Hezbollah attacks for a country 11:14 with so many enemies this military 11:16 strength is not 11:17 surprising we have not even mentioned 11:19 the country's level of air defense 11:21 systems foremost among these is the Iron 11:23 Dome one of the most important air 11:25 defense systems Israel 11:27 possesses iron Dome is an important 11:30 system optimized to destroy small slow 11:33 unguided targets such as short- range 11:35 rockets and drones it was built to 11:38 intercept lowtech Rockets fired by Hamas 11:41 and Gaza developed by state-owned 11:43 Raphael Advanced defense systems with us 11:46 support the system became operational in 11:49 2011 each Lorry drawn unit can direct 11:52 radar guided missiles against 11:54 short-range threats such as Rockets 11:56 mortars and drones an important 11:59 important part of Iron Dome is the 12:01 control system's ability to distinguish 12:04 which incoming targets pose a threat if 12:06 an enemy's rocket Falls harmlessly for 12:09 example if it lands in a deserted area 12:12 or at Sea the system will not intervene 12:14 in such 12:16 situations Uzi Rubin a senior researcher 12:19 at the Jerusalem Institute for strategy 12:21 and security argues that this makes it 12:24 ideal for saturation scenarios in which 12:27 an enemy is trying to fire so many 12:29 missiles that it is unable to intercept 12:31 them Iron Dome its radar and battle 12:34 Management systems are designed to 12:36 handle a large number of targets 12:39 simultaneously each launcher can fire a 12:41 full load of 20 interceptors in 10 12:44 seconds when Hamas began attacking 12:46 Israel in October 2023 it launched 12:49 several thousand Rockets into Israel 12:51 with a reported interception rate of 12:52 about 12:53 90% the Iranian fact houthis will also 12:56 have to take into account the stunning 12:58 successes of these Israeli Iron Dome air 13:01 defense 13:02 systems Iron Dome was originally built 13:05 to provide city-sized coverage against 13:07 rockets with ranges of 4 to 70 km 2.5 to 13:12 43 Mi but experts say this has been 13:15 expanded as the system has been 13:16 developed over time the systems work to 13:20 create a protective Zone above Israeli 13:22 towns and 13:23 settlements any incoming projectile 13:26 identified as a threat can be targeted 13:29 the task of hitting a large number of 13:31 cheap lowquality threats means that iron 13:33 Do's interceptors must also be cheap 13:37 experts estimate that each Tamir missile 13:39 costs about 13:40 $50,000 which is low compared to a 13:43 multi-million doll Patriot missile Anket 13:45 Panda of the us-based Carnegie Endowment 13:48 for International Peace believes that 13:50 the cost of not stopping an incoming 13:52 threat must also be taken into account 13:55 for this reason Anket Panda states that 13:57 Iron Dome is not very cheap deep however 14:00 there are air defense systems within the Israeli military that cost less than Iron Dome some of them are designed to intercept to ballistic missiles fired at Israel the outer layers are the ar2 and arrow 3 systems designed to intercept ballistic missiles fired from thousands of kilometers away the arrow 2 is optimized to destroy missiles in the atmosphere while the arrow 3 can shoot them down while cruising in space both are intended to minimize the possibility of ground damage from Warheads or payloads from destroyed targets there are many other modern military systems in the Israeli Army such as air defense systems rockets and many other modern military systems when we look at the elements in the Army's inventory the Iranian backed houthis do not have much chance in the long term in this competitive Arena one of the reasons for this is the advanced technology used by the Israeli Army and another reason is the continuous support of the United States 15:01 for this development with the support of the Us and other allies Israel is a country that can destroy the houthis in a short period of time TS Jo even with the help Iran instead of facing this reality the houthis are currently behaving as if they have lost everything and have nothing else to lose but this strategy could indeed to raise the houthis in Yemen from history in the future thank you for following us
