Amos Gilad, former head of the Ministry of Defense’s security policy staff and former head of the research division at the Israel Defense Forces, spoke today (Thursday) with Aryeh Eldad and Roni Bar-On on 103FM and addressed events on the security agenda in Israel: starting with the Iranian threat that may surprise Israel , Warming in the Gaza Strip and ending with the attack on Iranian bases in Syria attributed to Israel.

The Houthis in Yemen have received drones from Iran that can reach as far as Eilat
“The Iranians are seeking revenge, they have a long list of reasons, and to their surprise, it has been revealed that they have prepared attacking UAVs of the type in which they attacked Saudi Arabia. “They should be signed for the attack when it is, but it is the Iranians.”
In Saudi Arabia they managed to do enormous damage, should we not be afraid of that?
“One should always be prepared, the intelligence always has the capabilities of detection, identification and the possibility of letting the IDF be prepared to disrupt such an attack, if there was one, because Israeli sources do not confirm it.”
There are three issues in Gaza: yesterday’s exchange of fire between the IDF and Hamas and considerable provocation on their part, the public debate on corona vaccines in Gaza without the return of sons Hadar Goldin, Oron Shaul and Avra Mengistu
“The IDF and the Ministry of Defense are carrying out a huge project in Gaza to create an obstacle that eliminates Hamas’ strategic weapons. They would infiltrate skilled terrorists who could cause damage, for example in the Gaza Strip. Physical injury can be a national disaster. It is a powerful weapon and a fortune has been invested in it, and as the project progresses, this ability has already been deprived of them as a result of a combination of technology and excellent intelligence. They try to stop it because the project is nearing completion so they shoot at armored bulldozers. Morally they can not build on the tunnels. The same thing in the north, Hezbollah, which invested a fortune in the tunnels, the intelligence located them and the IDF “eliminated them.”
According to foreign sources this week we were busy in the north. There are two issues that concern us: the first is Iran, which did not understand small hints and therefore received big hints, and the second is that we have, at least for another five days, one who can do the misplaced heroics, Donald Trump.
“Iran is determined to bring about the disappearance of Israel, and they are translating this operatively into efforts to produce nuclear weapons. This is a very hot issue between us and the United States because Trump has imposed sanctions, repealed the agreement and Iran has advanced its nuclear capabilities. If there is no agreement, there will be a military option and it is not certain that they will want to exercise it. The nuclear issue is the central issue, because a threat that combines extreme ideology and the ability to strike hard. It’s actually an existential threat. ”
Gilad added that “the Iranians are taking sovereignty in Lebanon and want to take sovereignty from Syria. This will create a very heavy threat to Israel from two fronts. Israel in Syria, according to foreign sources, has decided to prevent it. Strategically they continue, but operationally, Air Force achievements “Together with the intelligence in particular, they are exceptional. Therefore, if the Iranians planned any revenge, such as trying to surprise us from Yemen, Israel is trying to deter them.”
