crisis devastating wars, terrorism, the israeli lobby, crackdown, diplomacy, yemen anti-israel operation. a

yemeni armed forces have hit a military target in tel avive using a new hypersonic ballistic missile resistance groups have praised the operation as natural response to the israely atrocities against the palestinians. now meanwhile yeminies took to the streets across the country to celebrate both the successful retaliatory operation and the birth anniversary of islam's prophet muhammad. the leader of yemen's ansarlah movement is valled. resistance front will continue retality operations until the israeli occupation regime stops the genocidal war on gaza. welcome to the spotlight. i'm your host naffi. let's see who our panelists are in this episode. karim sharara political analyst says joining me from beirut. also with us is clive menz's researcher and commentator in. london, okay, all right, just

introduce uh our guests, so let's... begin uh with karim if possible now karim they any missile flew more than 2 thous kilometers, it took 11 minutes before reaching its target inside tel aviv, so let our viewers know what this would mean in terms of the yemini armed forces military prowes, well so far what we've come to know... about the yemen armed forces is that they've been able to amas a good amount, a sizable amount of drones, not so shabby amount of ballistic missiles, which they've used a number of occasions, but they fact that they used a hypersonic missile,

mean this is this is game changing for many reasons, mean even the the americans if you want to take them into account there. years away from developing good hypersonic missile technology, if you want to talk about who the hypersonic players are in the world, you have basically russia, china, iran, and now you have yemen, and i mean yemen out of all countries, because yemen is a country traditionally looked down upon by the richer arab countries, mainly may... countries, so you have one of the poorest nations in the arab world now in possession of hypersonic missiles, that's one, that's that's one thing, that's that's a huge one, but it's the first one, the first thing to take into account, the second thing to take into account is that when you when you talk

hypersonic, again it's not, we're not talking supersonic, we're talking hypersonic, we're talking of speeds going above 300 kilometers ranging between... the fact that they've been able to achieve a missile that flew to flew to the occupied palestine uh within 11 and a half minutes flying 2ous kilometers, mean that suggests speeds of over 1000 kilometers and this is, mean it's not like they started with their uh with their lower tier hypersonic missiles they showed that they have good. technology, they showed they have good military technology, not only that, it's technology that the israeli aero systems, which are supposed to fend off uh ballistic missiles, uh, it's it's a missile that they could do nothing about, and meanwhile the israelis are flabbergasted, their security

chiefs are sleeping at the time, they knew nothing of what what was going to happen, i mean this completely hit them upside the head, this was huge. right, now clive, the algasam brigades commander abuida says the designist regime is b down in the gaza quarmer, even uh with the help of his allies they failed to intercept a single missile, it's an indication of weakness of the israeli regime, so as 11 months past since the war on gaza, we've seen a large number of operations and stronger retaliation by the resistance and more vulnerability on the part of the israeli entity, don't you agree? well, yes, i think from the outset this look like um, an intent to hit the self-destruction button by israel, i mean, irrespective of what people believe, it's pretty clear that the 7th of october attack was false flag provoked by

israel, um, which is usually their style, um, but they're now fighting fighting on multiple fronts, um, in what sense they hope to achieve any sort of strategic advantage is begger's belief. i think for the time being they should be grateful that both hezballah and iran specifically have been quite measured in their response. understandably hammus are fighting for lives um so so they are less restrained and and certainly yemen has been at war with saudi arabia for some years um and really has no... fear of escalation, whereas i think both lebanon and or hezbalar in lebanon and the the iranian government have been quite measured and restrained in their retaliation for the atrocities that have been unleashed upon them, so this does seem to be a war of

self-destruction, and i think there are multiple facets to to this, and clearly the cult that runs israel is intent on self-destruction in the sense that divide and conflict is what the cult thrives on, but also there is a theme amongst the more extreme religious. 'jewish fraternity that they are in the end times and they are bringing it on, and i think there are some fundamentalist christians who who share a similar ideology, so i think there are multiple strands to this, but it does seem that israel is determined to destroy itself, um, but this has a global context in that conflict and division is is what's driving the world at the moment, and talk about hypersonic missiles and this again is fueled by money. um, the the whole way in which

we've organized is that everything is seen through the prison of money, so weapons are now driving this, the more weapons you can unleash, the more money is made, so the arms industry be on either side, have incentive to encourage people to use these weapons, um, whereas if we discriminate between the structure. 'i the governments and the authorities and the people, the majority of people don't want this, uh, they need to turn their backs on their governments and say we are not going to put up with this, and there is a there's a strong historical truth that when a population is disaffected with its government to war, then war doesn't happen, but it's going to take a lot more momentum than we currently have, but it is growing'. so that's encouraging uh all right now uh karim uh let's now have assessment of uh the

yemen anti-isral operations beat by the yemeny navy or the missile force of the yemini arm forces how big an impact have they been able to leave on the israeli economy um again there's a number of ways to look at this uh, if you just sift through us and israely media, you can see that first of all, as far as the us goes, this is one of the harder battles that they've had to fight over the past decade, not since world war ii, have they seen so much action and so much great to their own navies uh, and it's clear from the tactics that the yemini armed forces are using, that they're learning from the... us defenses, they're learning how to penetrate their defens, these defenses and how best to

develop technology that can adapt to the battle in such a way as to deliver the maximum amount of damage with the least amount of cost, and this is a this is this is recurring team in the access of resistance, low cost, maximum damage, that way in case you are forced into a war of attrition, just as you're just just like the war you're in now, you can, you can sustain this, you can sustain yourself for longer while draining the enemy, so when you read into what's happening in israel at the moment, it becomes clear that this is a winning strategy, so looking at the israely economy, again you have economy that has been built on technology, on investments, on the idea of

israel being under threat, but able to deter, yet this economy, which the backbone of which has been the army has been forced to, if if you want to say it just nicely, downside, so the hifa port is more than 50% down at the moment, ilat port is shut down, you have a minimal amount of uh uh of action in terms of ports because the yemeny armed forces are capable of striking uh ships from take, mean from the indian ocean to the mediterranean sea, so there is that threat, so not only have premiums gone up in terms of insurance and of costs in the occupied territories, but they... "i mean, there's only so much you can do to sustain this, i mean even iron zone missiles, if uh, in the scenario of a war

with iron breaking out, or or with hisbollah for that instance, there is no am sufficient amount of iron zone missiles in the world that can deter the uh, that can intercept or be prepared for the thousands of rockets that hezbulah can launch every day on israel, right? so opening up a multifront war is not economically feasible for israel, nor is it military. feasible, sooner or later, they're going to have to do one thing, either self-destruct or take a step back. yeah, both carim and clive, you're both mentioning self-destruction part of israel. all right, clive, uh, now to israel's much boasted of defense system, the iron dome, which was not able to detect uh, this yemen missile that hit televive in the hours of this morning, and yemen is approved this way, this is what many experts are telling is that yemenis are able to hit these really enemy what it hurts if they really wish to, now there was a

military target, it could be a refinery, it could be vital targets inside telaviv and elsewhere. sorry, your question is, the iron dome and how vulnerable it's proved, sure, well, i think it's become apparent that, with so much in the world, um, on whatever topic you're talking about, we're dealing with illusions and the creation of illusions of of israel's impregnability was one such illusion, um, and i think... it's also worth reflecting back on the economic situation which you asked your other guess. i mean, let's face it, israel would not exist, if it wasn't for the amount of money that's been borred in by the us specifically. um, it used to be $3 billion dollars year, i think it's gone up quite a lot since then, um, but israel has control of congress, it virtually

controls uk politics, it controls uh, with the israeli lobby your program exposed. exactly how that works and across um western europe and there is, i think the fear of israel, and it's the miss surrounding israel, israel, and the mythology of antisemitism and all of these, all of these aspects to this conflict are beginning to penetrate the vast majority's consciousness that, perhaps israel is not the victim that it's always always perportted to be... "it is not the impregnable iron dome, um, it is, it is actually fighting in desperation, um, as i say, it looks like an operation of self-destruction, but whatever they're trying to do, and arguably they were trying to execute the plan for a greater israel, as articulated by uh, the yinnon plan in 1982,

but it's madness, um, and their iron done is shown to be just that, and um, so i don't think there's any doubt about that. now karim, resistance leaders have warned that in case the telaviv regime expands the war to other regions, thousands more such rockets and also surprises will go its way, so what do you see on the horizon in terms of retaliatory operations that have been growing as you see both in terms of quantity and quality? uh, it's just, as you said, the keyword there is surprises, because as we seen the yemini armed forces had huge surprising store to say the least, so and hisballah every every now and then likes the mind the israelies that they have lot up their steve, and that's an understatement, as we've seen from their past uh videos which

have caused a complete rucus in the israeli in... intelligence community and the and israely media, so what we can can expect to see from now on, look, there's a lot that that's going to be kept the time of war, one thing that's in com that resist access of resistance powers have in common is that they keep their cards well hidden and they only reveal them as a method of deturn. uh and i think that this strategy has helped has helped keep uh the war, the israelian war on lebanon at bay so far, i mean of course we have lot of destruction in the south, there are a lot of civilian casualties, but a i'm talking about a wide scale war in which the israelies would would want to actually do an

operation inside lebanese territory, heizbollah's surprises have. and uh revelations have kept this war at base so far, and this is huge point of discussion in israeli media, mean you have, you have former uh intelligence apparatuses uh leaders of intelligence apparatus is basically howling, pleading with netanyahu not to go forward with this step, the same goes for other access of resistance uh factions, so the what applies hezballah applies for yemen, it applies for iraq, and it applies for iran uh, which has and speaking of iran, iran has done... has played its uh has kept its cards well hidden uh the israelis are still still talking about an iranian response they they still don't know what it's going to be like

when it might be like how it's going to be like uh if it's anything like what we saw in april in terms of the implications and how iran and what is the israeli response. then it's going uh how can i say this? it's it's just like the yemeny hypersonic missile today shaped the was it it could be called a game changer in the war and could help and could push toward the cease fire it is expected that the iranian response would do the same okay uh clive uh senior hamas official said that the palestinan resistance movement has a high ability to... you fighting israel, despite the losses sus saying over the more than 11 months of this war, so i want to ask you, what's the key to palestinians

resilience? they are standing against the most powerful armies of the world, israel is not alone, the us is there, complicent partner, part of the war, and other countries, western countries fueling this war. well, i think it's a lot to do with what have you got to lose, and you fighting, are you fighting for your survival? "and in the case of the palestinians, they are undoubtedly not just fighting for survival, but they're fighting against the oppression and the the genocide that's effectively been going on since 98, 1948, so they have very high stakes in this in this conflict, and they have no real choice um other than to accept defeat, which i think is..." holy unrealistic, in the case of israel, israel has shown itself to never honoring agreements and it has expanded its territory

progressively at the expense of the palestinians, but sooner or later certainly amongst the general population it must become apparent and presumably amongst those serving in the idf and and israely forces that they are are fighting unjust war as far as the... concerned. um, now whether that realization would hit sufficient to truly disintegrate the israeli defense forces debatable, because i think they've been so indoctrinated over so many years since since their youth, that you know the world hates them and they have to fight for survival, that seems to be the predominant atmosphere in which they they've been raised, and how one reverses that i don't know, but clearly deep down in in their... heart of hearts, they must know that this is wrong, uh, to put it bluntly, um, because they are not fighting for survival,

in spite of their claims to be destroying hamas for their security, the usual nonsense that they they sort of trip out every time there is conflict, but i think at the end of the day there is moral case, the moral case for the palestinians is the... rival and the cessation of the genocide that has been running for decades in the case of the israelis, they do not have moral case. yeah, okay, we're out of time unfortunately. let me thank my guest in beirout and cles in london. and thank you for watching this episode of the spotlight on press of being your host. i'll see you next time.

yemany armed forces hit an isready military target in tel aviv using a new hypersonic. ballistic missile, the leader of the ansara movement says the yemen's anti-israel operations will continue until the regime stops its genocide in gaza, and israel's incessant strikes across the gaza strip kill dozens more palestinians raising the death toll there to over.
