We explain how Israel defended itself against an unprecedented attack by Iran - how layers of sophisticated missile defence successfully neutered a potentially devastating and deadly attack by Iran's military.
And look at whether the well telegraphed assault was supposed to fail all along.

Firstly, they did not stop it.
The two airbases, the secret service building in Tel Aviv and the radar station in the (occupied) Golan heights - all of which did the consulate strike in Syria, were hit - by the top tier missiles - which are mid-tier missiles in the Iranian arsenal.
Proof of concept success. (BTW, 5+ countries tried to 'stop' it and failed - this says even less about Israel's missile defense system. We are not fools.
nothing happend lil bro only minimal damage to a air base
Million dollar missiles vs thousand dollar drones? Looks like the Americans will need to get a third job.

Just to correct your mistakes - it was not a consulate it was a building next door to a consulate, used by the terrorist revolutionary guards and the arsehole who was killed was the man responsible for coordinating the October 7 massacre. One missile was fired reportedly at the building - Iran sent a fleet of 600 ballistic missiles, UAVs and cruise missiles carrying well north of 60 tons of explosives - in no way was this proportionate - of course the attack was a dismal failure and it opens the door now because any attack on Ithe cowardly Iranian regime which has been hiding behind proxies is now fair play. Very dark days are ahead for Iran
This was about demonstrating a show of force without causing casualties. It was a chance to test both the response of the US and test out how the defences coped under attack, while also wasting some of the US and Israel's stocks on destroying cheap drones.
They didn't waste anything that wouldn't have regularly been used in scheduled live fire exercises anyway. It's a tiny drop in the bucket of an enormous stock that is continually being rotated out and replenished. All they accomplished was to give the world's greatest military might some valuable real world practice.
if all the cruise missiles and drones were intercepted outside the israeli airspace then what are we seeing in the videos ?
Not all, 99@.
These are ballistic missiles
Have you read the Jewish holly book Torah? It is all lies.
It's a tiny country and the interceptions took place at high altitude. They could be seen from everywhere in Israel.
@@therichieboyyou can see the missiles hit the ground
Iran did an ethical warning.
Proving its possible to:
1. Gather a scope of arsenal and capacity of the iron dome
2. Having had flustered the system with slow drones in order for the one type of missile not mentioned above to make its accurate targets.
Namely the ballistic missiles
3. Proving they have the mercy and capability not to harm innocent lives while targeting military bases precisely
Remember, this was just a warning. An introduction

Iran told all the neighbouring countries already, i think iran just wanted to prove its point. Jordanian air defence has knocked most of the drones and missiles
The information iran gathered from this operation is priceless.
Iran sucks and has cheap, junk weapons.
The information Iran gathered? 300+ drones and missiles are a lot to learn from, so many of them failed to make all their way to Israel by their own, there’s a chance that all of Iran’s premise was just a show.
@@skinnypete9196 Israel had plenty of notice of the attack, thus the interception, and they're yet to retaliate. Their hidden 'powers' are proving to be nonexistent altogether. Information acquired successfully!
Cope
Only information Iran have got is how dork its attack looked to the world!
Completely wrong. Iran was well aware what confronted it was one of the most sophisticated layered air defence networks in the world. And yet it still managed to achieve hits via it's ballistic missiles. Go take a look at some of the videos out there, the reentry vehicles were making evasive manoeuvres less than a second before hitting the ground. There was also a lot of warning in advance which gave them time to prepared. If this escalates further, oil goes >$150, that's going to affect the global economy.
if that happens then usa will come back bro haha
three out of three hundred is a lousy rate. Now let's see how good Iran's defence is.
@@philipmann5317 Way more than 3 hit, video evidence proves that. That 99% interception figure is nonsense and the way their attack was designed was for air defences to be saturated with cheap drone swarms. If the response happens, it'll probably be a few ALBM from their fighter jets, which are hard to intercet. The US wont give them the refueling capacity, the response the next time round from Iran will be even more serious. They have the ability to shut down the strait of hormuz, which means oil spikes, and the global economy tanks. Goodbye to that India-Israel land corridor too or whatever it was.
@@philipmann531715 ballistics hit their targets multiple sources saying this even some isreali officials
@@philipmann5317 The truth is that the drones and cruise missiles were sent only to occupy the defense systems so that Iran's hypersonic missiles could function well without being disturbed. These missiles were able to successfully hit their targets in the Israeli airbase. This issue is completely censored by Israel. But there are videos on the Internet that show the impact of these missiles.

Not really. The US and Israeli surveillance of Iran is so total that we know when they're preparing to fire rockets almost half a day ahead of time, and then it takes several hours for them to even reach Israel. Try again.

The USA said it would provide the same defense, but will not help Israel attack Iran.The USA obviously knows the truth about what really happened.
If Iran's first attack was indeed an utter failure, then Israel would be confident enough to respond directly and massively at Iran knowing the USA will defend. So trigger-happy Israel has a decision to make. The results of that decision will tell the whole world the truth.
It didn't: Most drones had fireworks in them and self-detonated in the air or hit fields, the goal was to put on a rather boring show. The 99% success rate thing is an absolute joke: People don't realize how hard it is to hit a tiny object in the air going at hundreds of kilometers an hour. Sure, the most advanced anti-aircraft / anti-missile technology can probably get close to a half success rate with precise predictions and some realtime trajectory adjustments, but never as close as that at such heights and speeds.
Be interesting see how Iran fairs against the same attack 🤔
If Israel responded in kind, there would be war. Would the West want to be involved in a war between Iran and Israel? The governments might, the billionaire media moghouls would, but most of their peoples have seen just what Israel has been doing in plain sight for decades.
Popular support for Israel is at an all-time low, their claims of being a "moral" army a lie, and the sympathy for the survivors of the Holocaust has been tarnished by the cynical use of that sympathy to promote illegal Zionist settlers stealing Palestinian land and treating Palestinians like the nazis treated the jews.
Hahaa good point
I doubt israel would give 72 hour notice.
Brillantly after telling Israel and the west that they are firing
@@stanplan what point

2- do you know how the drone cost vs iron dome missiles ?
3- do you know how many investors are pulling out ?

Why did this sound like a weapon ad?
Israel can handle its own when fighting children, women, doctors, journalists, and aid workers. But when it goes up against Iran, it needs three foreign-funded air defense systems, three other countries to send in their own fighter pilots, two of another country's warships, and another country's air defense system. Even with all that, missiles still got through and hit Israeli military bases. Embarrassing.

"Attack was more successful than expected" it begs the question what were they expecting? 😂😂😂😂😂
You do not know. Except the military team who intercepted them
The West is calling this Iran's firework show AHAHAGAGAGGHAHAHAHHA
Precision. Iran gained knowledge about the air defense system of Israel. The USA, UK, and Israel gaved Iran knowledge about defending Israel. For Instance imagine 2000 drones, 4000 cruise missile and 1000 ballistic missile. Air defense system will be overwhelmed and it will be a total chaos.
Iran only has around 3000 ballistic missiles, so i assume they’ll be able to initiate 3 attack like that… yeah sure lol
Muzlinem logic 😂😂😂😂😂
@@skinnypete9196 I think you’re underestimating a capability of a big country like Iran, Hamas which is a militias group that has not got a manpower and a resource, still hear from time to time they’re firing rockets in big numbers
If Hamas could do it why Iran can’t?
Israel is not as strong as it states, yes it has Iron Dome air defense, but needed US ships/fighters, plus UK and French planes to assist, not forgetting Jordan's intercepting some, without others Israel would be in trouble.
I think you are emotional, what is power and weaknesses? This is a question someone need to understand.
When you say israel need UK, us, France USA, Jordan and saudi arabia to counter iran what are your analysis?
First you also mentioned yes it has iron dome, so what is power? Again you are confused, leave emotion when you are observing geopolitical structures. Israel has something the middle east doesn't has, brain and this brain build ths iron dome, so you really think saudi and jordan helped? Mr you are making here a stupid observation, because they want us to be believe those two arab countries helped and you believe it?. Listen here we only know israel made the entire job and the usa little as always, the usa only make good things in term of money in term of technology israel give one of the best. So listen if saudi and Jordan intercepted something it was the usa, France and UK Arab don't have the technology, and in term of communication, allies wanted to show usa and those two European countries as big player which is geopolitically true but in term of what happened when iran sent 300 missiles it was israel which intercepted 80% that is the truth hidden also it wise to give saudi arabia a good geopolitical figure, a role of figure because iran and saudi hate each others so can you understand even communication here? This is how the usa take credit about many things it ally in that region because this is geopolitic move.
So this doesn't mean the usa is weak no, the usa is the most strongest but in term of power but israel is the only country which take its own security seriously, if they leave stupid debates among dem and rep to define their own way to defend themselves nothing will work for them, look at gaza the entire world said but the jew state did not care and you see the result hamas has won a single land but has one strategic card hostage.
So what you must ask is, if israel sent 300 missile in iran will iran be ingenius as israel to intercept them with 99% of success not 80% because they will use Russian s300 or s500 we have seen how ukrainian drones go even near Kremlin this is not going to work
Of course, that is why allies are important in warfare and always a factor. Thats how war has always worked.
Iran showed the world how weak Israel is, without help Israel can not defend itself, rather pathetic
@elikanoelikano1192 iron doom is American built, stop lying 🤥
Exactly
Irans swiss cheese defence couldn't stop a single missile fired by Israel.
iran- WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!!!
Each time Israel knocked one of the 30 Iranian missiles, it cost about 30 million dollars.
There were 30 ballistic missiles, thats almost 1 billion dollars. Then for the 130 drones, maybe a million dollars to blow up each one of those. Add in the rest and we are already talking about over 1 billion US dollars.
Iran targets were military and the one base they wanted to hit, they did. This was not an all out attach by Iran - this was a very, very expensive warning.

Iran has a right to destabilise the middle east by arming terrorist groups, at a time of unprecedented Arab support for Israel?
You're right
A bullshit analysis ever on a news channel. "Did Iran under estimate Israel or failure"? Even a reporter from burundi or papua new guinea will never ask that type of question. Iran notice Israel days before it attacks, used old type missiles, all of the drones and most of the missiles where NOT down by Israel. And then your asking the stupidest and funniest question by a 'professional reporter'.

They are all made with their own Mistake to regretting at the end
Iran can keep testing all day 💸
Striking the targets would be the bonus, as far as I'd expect. Missile defence, as briefly touched on is really expensive. I'd like to see an estimate from those in the know about the expected costs per side would be. I suspect this was far more expensive for Israel (and others combined) than Iran. It's also a demonstration of capabilities.
I wonder if the targetted air base was the source of the F35 that struck the consulate.

depends on who's gonna trade with the Iranians. all the world hates them they barely have food to eat because of their regime
Iran knows that if they launch missiles it will definitely shoot down Israel's Iron Dome. But what if, this attack, they were only for collecting data on which locations the missile escaped from the iron dome's reach and how much the percentage of iron dome failures. So then armed with that data they can attack more effectively
Iran has the right to defend itself
