anything that breaks through those will then be targeted by the david sling.lly interesting is when you come into the iron dome system. it is a 24/7 capability. it is all weaer, and has 360 degree cover. that in itself is hugely important. it is broken down into three parts. you have the target tracking radar, you have got the actual interception missile itself, and that is in all the batteries. there is thought to be around 10 batteries surrounding israel to give them full cover. and then you have the c2 system that provides the software that allows the target tracking radar to talk to the missile. the range of that is around 2.5 to 44iles. you can imagine if this system is engaging targets at 2.5 miles over open areas, that will be quite a shock for a lot of people because of the noise. so the iron dome system is quite phenomenal. it has a very high percentage rate of intercept. but we should not forget that as part of this you have u.s. naval warships in the mediterranean who are firing interception missiles as well to try and counter those 182 coming in. c

just tonight. >> in the skies over tel aviv, we just saw what appeared to be the iron dome or david's sling. david's sing, more effective against ballistic missiles which come at a faster clip than the drones. that missile defense apparently working over tel aviv. we can see a lot of flashes that seem to be missile defense in action. i want to bring in chief international correspondent keir simmons in qatar. as you know -- we can hear more sirens over tel aviv. the qataries have been instrumental. they have been thanked by the americans for trying to achieve cease-fires, for trying to restrain the israelis. now we are in an all-out iranian attack. we don't know how large it's going to be. it's in their interest to show some significant backup for hezbollah. there was a lot of controversy in that world, among the hezbollah leaders. last friday when they were meeting, one of the reported reasons for the meeting was dismay by some of the hezbollah commanders that they had not been -- there had not been iranian retaliation for what happened previously to the pagers and to the death of nasrallah

uh, kero david sling towards the end. would be appropriate for intercepting these these come at a much higher speed and from a higher angle of approach. then the sort of rock is that we've seen fired by has paula and moss. and usually they're intercepted at a higher altitude. i've seen video that seems to indicate an x of sernick or at x. the last name is eric. rather that's easy for me to say, interception. so even outside of the atmosphere, every attack, of course, gives around new information on israel defense capabilities. what else do you think of ron has? and it's also well, you know, what we don't know is how big they're starting. number of missile score of the year by 14 each attack was about 10 percent of their arsenal. so this is probably at least another 10 percent probably as high as 31st search. uh there were, you know, domestic protests any ron calling for strikes against israel after the killing of hoss and most relo. um, so they may have jip so little bit further into there are some watch. i think that the

range of about 190 anything that breaks through the arrow two and three will be targeted by the david's slingin operation since 2011 and it is a 20 47 capability and it is a 20 47 capability and hundred 60 degrees cover. and that is hugely important and it breaks down the three parts and in the tracking radar and you got the actual interception of missiles and all the batteries around ten batteries surrounding israel to give them full cover and they of the sea two system that basically provides software that allows the target tracking radar to target the missile and us thinking about 2.5, if this system is engaging targets of 2.5 miles over open areas they'll be quite a shock for a lot of people because of the noise. and the iron dome system is quite phenomenal and as a very high percentage rate of intercept but also, we should not forget that it's part of this different fulfillment, you have two naval warships and the ocean firing missiles as well to try to counter those 182. the cost of these missiles is $1.5 million in the estimate israel spends $850 million on the technology in april alon

also the system below that called david's sling. that's what is defending israel right now. here's what i would -- the reason i say it's spinning out of control, remember what i said earlier, the israeli general policy. disproportionate response to an attack and this is one of those i think this thing is going to go further now and i think if you're looking at the supreme leader connie ali hyman a. he's a risk. i think the israelis are going to come back hard at him and they should and this is going to escalate more and more. this is not for slowing down. when i set about spinning out of control, i could get a buddy better buckle up. we're going to see more of this. israelis have shown what they have done in the last couple weeks, they are not afraid of disproportionate responses. i think you're going to see that. they did that with thomas. they've done it with hezbollah. i think now when you look at what you hear, the rhetoric coming out of netanyahu, i think the next step is iran and we should be, honestly we should be full square behind them. we should give them every ass

were seeing were some of the higher altitude missile defenses such as one of which is known as david's sling. but i'll tell you as i was as my team and i and to be clear, there are several levers here as we were in the midst of this, the extent of the intercepts over tel aviv, which is a big city extended from the southern end all through the central area here to the northern and multiple firing and points of those interceptors going up and meeting in the sky above us. and you could see the, you could see the explosions as they hit presumably, their targets it's of these incoming missiles and jim, i should note that we are getting a statement in from iran now saying what was plainly obvious, but but still confirming that this isn't direct response in retaliation for what israel has been conducting over the last several days and weeks, which is the killing of these top leaders of hezbollah. >> of course, hassan nasrallah and other top leaders that they have targeted in recent days, they are now saying in a statement that argc, that this is in response to that jim, obviously, what was so criti

one system that is designed primarily against the smaller rockets, but you also have the david sling the arrow systems. and so it was likely a combination of these more sophisticated interceptors that were actually used against the iranian missile attacks. right. and also the pentagon said it actively helped israel that deal with the raining and miss outs being fired at the country. how important was it then for israel to have the us helping? and it's always helpful to have a coalition when it comes to air and missile defense. so back in april, when we saw a similar iranian missile attack directly against israel, we had seen not just israel, but the us, france and several, the 3rd states as well. joining in, in that coalition to provide intelligence and interceptors, and just the regional connectivity to defeat these incoming threats. so it's extremely helpful to have more people, more operators and sensors and interceptors involved in these kind of defenses. now, what can we learn about iran's capabilities from this attack? did they actually intend to cause casualties? do you think

the assets to destroy them, they're linked to arrow 2, arrow 3, advanced patriot, fad missiles, david sling, then when you look at the military side, you have to look at the arsenal of missiles that iran possesses, and they can reach out 1,200 miles with great precision. very high-explosive conventional warheads that would do enormous damage, destroying whole city blocks in places like hyfa, tel aviv, even jerusalem, although i doubt they would attack jerusalem. the bottom line is that we need to think this through, and everyone right now is emoting, there is no thinking anywhere, so what would happen to the united states if we followed senator graham's advice and just started bombing critical infrastructure in iran? compared to israel , iran is a very small land, 80 times the territory of israel, iran is not a terrorist group, iran is an army. it is organized , it has a guards corps , it has missile and drone powers, it has soldiers, etc., etc., and materials for israel to engage in a war of attrition with the iranian regime . on the other hand, israel should take into account the demands

then they created iron dome and david sling and really the strategic defense of vindication of reagan's vision. intersecting missiles from iran and the current war in the middle east.t. see what in fact to write that when it comes to that issue should ever occur and all out missile attack against the u.s., israeli technology will be the reason we will likely survive. george you say the israel test is also a book about philosophy. what do you mean? >> might favorite chat there probably and jon was the originator of information theory. he was also the key figures in the manhattan project. which date america during the second world war. jon started as an ally who believed in that determine thist mathematical model of the universe. and vannoy men gives proof back in 1931. an it showed no intellectual system, no conceptuall system cn function without propositions outside the system that cannot be reduced to the system. and the anointment was hilbert's chief ally. realize youou will offered it. no one in the room really understood its significance. he abandoned the scheme and it was his life

and david sling and arrow three the strategic defense of vindication of reagan's vision intercepting missiles from iran and the current war in the middle east. >> host: and factory right when it comes to that issue if that should ever occur in all out missile attack against the u.s., israel technology will be the reason we likely survive. >> host: george gilder you said the israel test is also book about philosophy. what do you mean? >> guest: my favorite chapter probably is on jon vannoy men. jon vannoy men was the originator of information theory. and he results is one of the key figures in the manhattan project which saved america during the second world war. jon vannoy men started as an ally of tilburg. who believed in eight determinist mathematical model of the universe. and vannoy men gives the crew back in 1931. and it showed no intellectual system, no conceptual system can function without propositions outside the system that can't be reduced to the system. and vannoy munn was chief ally and trying to reduce all science to a single mathematical scheme it. and he realized that

the report says the expenditure includes $4 billion towards replenishing israel's iron dome and david's sling missile defense systems as well as cash for guns in jetfield. it stays that additional $5 billion dollars in funding was supplied to us military operations in west asia. during that time frame, this figure includes the costs associated with the us military's attacks on yemen. washington has also provided israel with diplomatic support, preventing the un from obliging the regime to end the genocide. early we're joined by president tv's rachel hamdun from the us city of new york to give us more details regarding the pro-palestinian rallies there. "we've not only seen that this much aid uh we're talking over over 18 billion now and this has been going uh not only to uh to israel's genocidal campaign uh on on but this is also going to other fronts as well where other people are being uh murdered including lebanon, including yemen, including syria, including iraq, and uh and we all know that that money um we've well to..." put it into into more context as well regarding us policy with the

in the country, the sky was closed for civil aviation for 2 hours, israeli anti-missiles, hetz david's sling shot down most of the ballistic missiles already directly within the air borders of israel. iran launched a large-scale attack with more than 180 ballistic missiles directly from iranian territory on the state of israel. a small number of the hits were in central israel, while others hit the south of the country. most of the incoming rockets were intercepted by israel and the u.s.-led defense coalition. iran's attack is a serious, dangerous escalation, and there will be consequences. shrapnel and heavy parts of the rockets that fell to the ground shattered windows and set trees and grass on fire. a palestinian was killed in the west bank city of jericho. he was fatally wounded by shrapnel from a downed rocket. contrary to reports from iranian authorities, idf officials said that military bases, aircraft, equipment of israel. and constant army raids in palestinian cities, responding to rocket attacks from yemen, israel suffers losses and intensifies terrorism. sergey pashkov, alexander

they will use david sling or more likely the arrow 3 missile defense system.he arrow 3 was used back in april. we were standing in tel aviv and we watched the missile defense take place in real time. some of the missiles were intercepted outside of israeli territory. others made it to israeli airspace and were intercepted by israel's missile defense system, the arrow system. the system was developed by a man named danny gold. danny gold is the mastermind behind the israeli defense arsenal. he thought through how to intercept this fire coming from other countries. the israelis have been preparing for the possibility of what we're watching unfold today in multi-front attack at the same time. over the past hour, 1 1/2 hours, the israelis have seen rocket fire coming from lebanon and now missile fire coming from iran. >> harris: this is what we talked about, trey, in terms of how different fronts. i had congressman brian mast on that served with the idf forces an an american citizen after october 7th. he had done it previously for years coming out of his college.

and david sling air missile defense system in partnership with the united states and also israel's passive defenses such as its residents, its citizens, knowing to take shelter during an attack such as this. but we can expect a forceful response because the game has changed in the middle east, particularly the last few, when israel has taken the offensive to hezbollah, has taken hassan nasrallah, its leader and most of its leadership, iran now is fearful that its regional empire of proxies is falling, that they are losing them one by one. first hamas and hezbollah next . so iran wants to it wanted to attack israel to not only send a message again after the response of killing of nasrallah, as well as ismail haniyeh a few months ago, but also to relieve pressure on hezbollah because it is that israel will make good on its promise and destroy the terrorist organization. >> and dan, as of this morning in israel and more specifically in lebanon, you're for some of your former colleagues in the idf on the ground in lebanon, seeking out and attempting to destroy hezbollah positions and hezbollah

nick was saying, look like david's sling interceptors for more ballistic missiles, but also earlier today, a ballistic missile they said perhaps from yemen. >> yeah. >> so i mean the capital here being attacked on, on two sides today, as you said, the interceptors what saves the population, doesn't say them obviously from running for shelters we heard the sirens there and you can be sure that everyone in this city in anyone who might have been out at a, at a gathering to remember october 7, that you have to understand that the reason that hamas fired five of their longer range missiles today out of gaza, reaching into, reaching close to tel aviv, the reason the houthis that it from yemen, the reason it appears hezbollah has done it from the north is because it's october 7 and this is them signaling. >> yes. and also there was a palpable feeling. jake and there is a palpable feeling of israel needs to strike and strike hard and strike harder. i'm not saying it's universal, but it's palpable and you hear it from individuals. you hear it from it's not just a military three of it says that. t

report says the expenditure includes $4 billion dollars towards replenishing israel's iron dome and david's sling missile defense systems as well as cash for guns and jet fuel. it is states that additional $5 billion dollars in funding was supplied to us military operations in west asia during that time frame. this figure. includes the cost associated with the us military's attacks on yemen. washington has also provided israel with diplomatic support, preventing the un from obliging the regime to end the genocide. political commentator commentator paul lerudy says, most countries of the world are silent regarding the israeli aggression against god. and lebanon, because they are afraid of the us consequent reaction against them, the rest of the world has been timed, they're afraid of what the united states will will will do to them, maybe to hurt their trade, i don't know, but they they are reducing. traid with with israel, for example, and some are refusing to interact with israel, and to send israelip to break diplomatic relations, and regardless of of the assassinations, the effectiveness of th

concern is that they could overwhelm the very sophisticated layered israel defense so iron dome, david sling arrow and now, of course, the u.s. system that's been added in largely focused on the iranian ballistic missile threat because a couple of those got through the other day, did no damage, but again, the concern about this is legitimate. neil: yeah, and if they launched at once, to your point, general. we're waiting to see israel's response to that missile attack back on october 1st from iran. some say it's going to wait until after the u.s. election. i don't know how true that is, but we've heard from benjamin netanyahu already, it will not include oil facilities, it will not include nuclear facilities. what do you think? >> well, in fact, the oil markets have already responded and you saw the risk premium eliminated, had gone back up. brent crude is back down into the lower 70's again per barrel. i think this will come after our terminal high altitude area defense system is established and at that time, i think, they'll have the confidence to undertake strikes very substantial strikes

you david's sling and then you have the arrow missile defense system. so it's a 3 tier 3 tear layer response or capabilities what it looks, appears as though you're seeing is inbound missiles there and then you'll see the interceptors go up. we don't doknow how many of these ballistic missiles were intercepted or not. the iron dome basically is trying to shoot a bullet with another bullet. and that's what all of these e missile interceptor systems in on left-hand side of your screen. the thing going up is is the iron dome or the arrow or david's sling is difficult to determine which one they were using in this video. but israel's missile defense system is second to not another big question to ask. the u.s. has warships strategically placed thoughts off of tel aviv. i'm in the mediterranean and also has warships in the gulf of aden. they could have come up near a lot, which israel, southern port and in the persian between iran and iraq and the flight path. israel. it'll be very interesting to know whether u.s. missile defense systems in jordan already a

david sling, these are the closer range systems.hese are the systems that are used by israel to shoot down incoming rockets and missiles from places like gaza and lebanon. if the iranians do respond to the strikes that are currently taking place in and around the iranian capital of tehran being launched by the israelis, the response would come in the form of ballistic missiles. now, the iranians have very extensive arsenals of ballistic missiles, very advanced missiles that they used against israel earlier this year, earlier this month. but israel has the arrow two and three defense system. this is a system that allows israel to shoot down the incoming ballistic missiles, and it allows them to protect some of their more sensitive targets. what could some of those targets be? we can start at the bottom of the coast and work our way up. you could look at the palmachim airbase. this is an air base where many of the israeli jets take off. when they do missions like they are conducting tonight against iran or other places like whenever t

they have the david's sling, which is for medium altitude. they have the arrow which is high altitude. rock incoming rockets. they've also, in the past incorporated patriot pac three, which is one of our systems. it's no longer there but the thad really is something new and it's been around since about 20:12. it's short, medium, and intermediate range ballistic missiles specifically ballistic missiles and intercepts with something called a hit-to-kill approach. what that means is it has a kinetic strike against the incoming missile. none of these other technologies do that. they have an explosive device that knocks the missile out of the sky. but the that actually kills the missile with a direct hit. and it's important because truthfully, israel has seen themselves in situations where multiple rockets are coming into their country, not just from lebanon, but also from iran. >> general, i want to ask you about something and i think you had been focused on the last few days. this is the israel with lebanon and the border is right here. i'm not

shown that they could penetrate their their defenses, the myth of iron dome, the arrow systems, the david sling whatever names they want to give their defense mechanism, they all failed, and they failed the first time in a very very subtle. way was shown by the iranians, they didn't launch much, a couple of hundred old drones and uh few ballistic old old school ballistic missiles and they they managed to get through. now this time of course they went a lot further and 180 plus uh missiles, many of them uh supposedly uh hypersonic, perhaps they were ballistic, it's not entirely clear, the iranians now say they didn't launch any hypersonics here, which is another fun package for the israelis to consider if those were to come into play, but "the truth is that uh they the israelis essentially uh have to take the message that they have no defense mechanisms that could really prevent the isamic republic of iran doing huge amount of damage. the israelis are also incircled, hez bull has fighting force of around 100 thousand plus. the iraqi pmus are sworn to mobilization after what they've uh done to uh

targets that uh we have seen uh basically that uh the iron dome uh definitely did not work nor david sling of course uh both that were set up um to protect the israely regime and we have also been looking at images uh from throughout iran as people have taken the streets and celebrate and here this is gaza, gaza people are celebrating, of course we know that there's no electricity in gaza that has been cut off from the beginning of course of the genocide, nevertheless people have taken to the streets and celebrating, i'm joined with by zainab zakaria here with me in the studios in tehran, well zenab, i have to say that it's just so nice to see the... people of gaza smile um after so much suffering and of course uh uh nothing can ever replace of what they have gone through, but at least um a breather uh a reason to smile tonight, your thoughts, zainab, and seeing those images and in general about these retaliatory strikes that have taken place tonight. hello mari and thanks for having me, um, the joy is not just for garzons, the joy for every single human being across the world whose heart

ballistic missiles or cruise missiles, both of which can get through, even with the arrow 2 system and david sling, and you can add in thad patriot system, what, there isn't a missile to find shield in the world, not even s400s that can stop a broad ballistic missiles or cruise missiles right now, the offense is higher than the defense, uh, you would have to... have enormous amounts of of overlapping defense array to be able to stop that and it's just not cost efficient or feasible and they're really low on interceptors and those can be overwhelmed by you just throwing lots of drones and uh slow subsonic missiles and things to and you still have to take those down because they have a payload but the cost is so cheap uh compared to the interceptor missile you can flood that you can overwhelm them break the economy. make them run out ammo and then fire the ballistic missiles, they don't have answer to this, and yeah, they absolutely lied, because we all saw the missiles hit, now the pictures are coming out about their base in the gev, they were able to take out an arrow 2 system, and that says somet

but the defense system also includes david's sling, which is built to intercept medium range myself up to 300 kilometers away. like those used by has bella in lab and on israel say i defense systems also include arrow 2 and arrows. 3 interceptors develop to engage medium to long range. me sounds like the ballistic myself, a used by ron r o 3 off rates outside the atmosphere and has the longest range. drawing me down from washington, d. c is shown shake from the center for strategic and international studies where he conducts research into missiles and defense, nuclear weapons, defense, nuclear weapons, and emerging technologies. welcome to d. w. how testing was that you were by knights attacked for israel ad defend systems as well. it looks like that the defense was successful. this was, as you had already mentioned, a large barrage of ballistic missiles were seeing reports of about a 180 ballistic missiles coming in. there was less warning time as compared to a previous iranians drag that took place in april. so that made it a little bit harder for these the best to take up to be prep

iron dome picks up short range missiles, david sling picks up the medium range, but any missile whichom yemen or iran or iraq or anywhere like that , that is anywhere like that, that is known as the arrow system. picking out long—range rockets coming in. at this point, of course, nobody knows what has happened.a course, nobody knows what has happened. a good friend of mine i was just speaking to was on his way to the. actually, he had come from the western wall in jerusalem because tomorrow night is the start of a the ten days of the high holy days of the jewish new year and yom kippur. so he was coming from the western wall, and all of a sudden he looked up at the sky. he tells me, and he just saw. i've never seen anything like it. he says. there was missiles coming across. we actually had to run for cover. and that's the problem right now, because a lot of people were out shopping and preparing earlier on jerusalem and tel aviv, the main population cities. it's also hit the south. and of course in the north people have moved from the north to tel aviv and other areas to get away fro

resistance, designs are approachable, the zin can be defeated, the iron dome and the and and the david sling are weak, are as weak as the spider's web before the axis of resistance, we need to understand the morality, the patience and the and and and the and the the integrity. and the ethics behind the way the islamic resistance, the axes of resistance retaliates, they have to keep in mind, they have to keep human life in check, they have to keep morality in check, they will not compromise on their principles, this is what distinguishes them from the zienist crooks, this is for for their morality and their ethics and the belief system is what differentiates them from those who are willing to murder, innocent men, women and children in the thousands, this has been one year, and the access has been consistently fighting back with patience, trying to contain this war, but now we've come to point where the access is in a position to now take this war front to a full war, but that all depends on the way the zinanis regime reacts now, it all depends, but clearly that's the narrative that they'll t

the iron dome david sling the arrow missile. all of that is created to stop many missiles from coming through. but when you're sending hundreds out of time, some of them will definitely get through. now around, claims that their missiles did completely destroy israel's f $35.00 day. so now the team and level built massage headquarters on not there on the ground. i don't know, but they did do substantial damage, even one missile getting to is a success. and that is what even though is real with us backing and these are only us weapons. but there's also a difference in all, as well as just pointed out in who israel targets and to around in inspiring it's missiles was targeting military centers when hi design is slight. they are targeting schools, hospitals, refugee camps, apartment buildings, marketplace has every, every positive toward the maximum civilian casualties. that's what they account as a successful a time when it's quite the opposite. where, which. busy around in marriage, shots have sort to really shit and take out the

and um, david sling the arrow missile. all of that is created to stop many missiles from coming through. but when you're sending hundreds out of time, some of them will definitely get through. they did do substantial damage, even one missile getting to is a success. and that is what even though is real with us backing, and these are only us weapons. but there's also a difference in all as well as just pointed out in who israel target and to a run in in firing it's missiles, was targeting military centers. when of hi, ms. zion is slight, they are targeting schools, hospitals, refugee camps, apartment buildings, marketplace is every, every positive toward the maximum civilian casualties. that's what they account as a successful a time when it's quite the opposite square, which uh, around in mary types of sort to really shit and take out of the oh is really military. we use definitions created such a huge costs. another $9000000000.00 from us just as well, unless support and that's the update. now, thanks for watching. i'll s

next up is david's sling which covers medium range rockets and missiles finally, comes a system knownand 3. this deals with longer range missiles like those used by iran. it can even intercept outside of the earth's atmosphere. the systems generally work by tracking the trajectory of an incoming missile using radar. a control centre monitors them and then launches their own missile which will intercept and blow it up. let's speak to darya dolzikova, who is a nuclear policy research fellow at the royal united services institute. darya, thank you very much for joining us on bbc news and obviously we have already talked on the programme a little bit today about that concern about iran's nuclear facilities, about whether there could be a strike on that by israel. joe biden saying washington would not support an israeli strike on iran's nuclear facilities, israeli strike on iran's nuclearfacilities, urging israel to be proportionate. so israel to be proportionate. so i think it is going to be usefulfor i think it is going to be useful for everyone watching and listening, firstly, to unders

now arrow myself, typically cost about $3500000.00 each and david sling joined us. he's ready manufactured system around $1000000.00 each. the author, i previous retaliatory attack by the iran back in april, which was on a smaller scale than last night, years old, spend more than a $1000000000.00 on a single night of deception. the cost of defense was estimated at about $4.00 or $5000000000.00 shackles. i'm only talking about interception to what the iranians launched and not injuries that were marginal. the area i discussed with a panel of guess about high prize ease will ever have to pay to for it's the escalation when it comes to funding it's costly air defense system. a while it seems that it didn't work enough actually to sup the missiles, you don't submit it to the campus to pick up up. and if you have significant involves embrace infuse, and that'll also result places in that you don't, has to drill when it's a medium and large range, but a sickness. so such as shop or c, g series, listening to the quarter on the uh, you know, versus, has an extended, if you

the patriot complexes and the david's sling system should have been engaged in ballistic missiles over cities of israel, since the iron dome is intended to destroy the makeshift shells that the palestinians collect and... not so much a punitive strike as a formidable one demonstrations. the persians' long delay in retaliating in tel aviv began to be perceived as weakness and tehran's readiness to admit defeat. the missile salvo produced an instant reconfiguration of roles in the confrontation. the iranians had proven their strength and determination, while the israelis realized that their enemy was strong and ready for battle. the moderation of destruction may have been intentional. tigiran had made it clear that he was capable of inflicting unacceptable damage on the jewish state, and thus suggested that it back down. at the same time, revenge does not seem necessary if the zionist the state entity will attack us, the retaliation will be even more brutal than the previous one, the response will be proportional, carefully calculated, we did not start the conflict, we only responded to

but they also have the arrow in the david sling which were dispatched back in april when the it audience did send nearly 350 cruise, ballistic missiles and drones into is really territory. but we also know that israel has said that there would be a retaliation, but any sort of attacks would not go on answered, but at this hour as well. so it's making its preparations, it's holding it security assessments, but that they still don't exactly have any information about any preparations by the audience. okay. how does that include reporting from amman and jordan? thank you very much. now, earlier israel said that it's troops crossed into 711 on for what it's calling limited and targeted raids against has below. well, it has the spokesman denied those reports, but did say that it is ready to confront is really forces. if true, it would be the 1st time is real, has had boots on the ground and level known since the war in 2006 houses here, as joseph jabari joins us from the lebanese capital door. so when we last spoke you were at the scene of and is really your strike in, in the route. what's th

that were intercepted by israel's standing air defense system in the form of the iron dome, also, david's slingover the weekend, israel revealed that there was damage sustained to private property from the october 1 attacked in the range of 43 to $50 million raid on fairweather whether it came from the rockets or from debris but the point is right -- damage being sustained, hence, why the west felt the need to help both israel bolster their defense system but also worth flagging that over the weekend, hezbollah fired for drones into central israel. idf reporting that four soldiers were killed overnight. seven severely wounded. just another example of how critical it is from israel's perspective to support the air defense system. given that these attacks are ongoing. hezbollah have said that they will continue firing rockets, so long as israel's ground incursion in lebanon continues. tom: the death and suffering continues in the region in israel as you just outlined. in lebanon and in gaza, as well, over the weekend. >> as we have been speaking about, the conflict has been expanding in several a

and we have been a partner with them in the iron dome and david sling and the arrow, and we know we need sure israel has what they need to defend themselves and i keep supporting to make sure tafanely israel has that capacity and making certain they have what they need to defend their people and i also support our continued work with them. iran was using proxies to attack israel so they've carried out this day of repentance attack and it appears that they cleared the way by destroying some targetses in syria and iraq on the way to iran, and let's make certain that iran can no longer be the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism. completely funding and training and equipping hamas and hezbollah and houthis and isis in syria. isis in iraq. stuart: get rid of -- yeah. confront them and win. senator marsha blackburn, thank you indeed for being with us. always appreciate it. >> you got it. stuart: a new report that reveals that kamala harris worked to make the intelligence community more woke. all right, ashley, how did she do that? ashley: harris reportedly worked to inject the themes of

but the arrow missile system and the david sling missile system.re intercepted. some came down in south and central israel to no effect. most of the damage that was caused was from the shrapnel from intercepted missiles crashing down. and we know in one case, some of the ha shrapnel came down in the west bank town of jericho and killed a palestinian plan. it sent israelis scrambling for shelter but otherwise the grand attack was in effected. still the supreme leader of iran tweeted a taunt in hebrew saying the blows of the uprising front will become stronger and more painful of the rotting body of the zionist regime. with that the u.s. worries about escalation. >> we have, of course, do not want to see a wider regional conflict. have you heard us say that many times and we will continue to work towards that end. but we also fully understand the fact that this was a significant attack by iran. and so we're going to continue to consult closely. and we're going to continue to support their defense. >> and there was a mass shooting in the old city ofaf

the aerial defense system and david sling systems and others.hat do they think they can do against other systems of defense? it's something they have to calculate. >> harris: you were part of the idf and i know viewers may wonder how did that come about and what can you tell us about those fighting forces? >> this goes back to what was going on in higher education years ago. i was a student at harvard back in 2014. there were constant pro tests against israel at that time. i decided one day having a negative encounter with some palestinian supporters that i was going to go and show my support for israel. i volunteered alongside their military. it was a great experience. what i can tell you about the difference in the forces is they realize on a daily basis that they are surrounded by enemies directly on their border whether it be the tunnels that come through egypt. what comes across from gaza, whether it be what comes from the north in lebanon. they have a daily reminder of the enemy is on their border and it is just a matter of maybe 40, 50 mi

here while we were all here watching those those were interceptors which appear to be from the david slings missile defense system, which go way up higher for the ballistic missiles, which can be fired by hezbollah in that case. and they did claim responsibility earlier from the houthis, the iron dome, which i just saw in the north firing. obviously, we you know, we see here more with gaza and all of this comes jim is now you're looking at 2:00 in the morning, another night where now the idf says, you know, very clear that they're ready to go when they get that order to strike back at iran. >> and, and whether or not there is approval or buy in from the us. right. i mean, there's been an effort. i've heard this from u.s. officials to and from israeli officials to get on the same page, right, as to what is the, you know, from the us side, what's proportional, what prevents this from being a broader war that has other potential consequences around the world, economic and otherwise. but also that, of course, satisfies israel's need not just to retaliate and establish deterrence, reestablish de

what you see here in blue is david's sling.e ability to take out a missile or rocket at an altitude of ten miles. pretty good. this is the aero system here in yellow. it has the ability to go to 100 miles. a lot of that was in force yesterday by the israeli military and how they used it to defend their country. there is a missile complex, set up for decades. that is the main source as to where the iranians make their ballistic missiles. is that the target? keith kellogg can answer that. retired u.s. army general. good morning to you. what does benjamin netanyahu do next with regard to iran, sir? >> yeah, bill and dana, thank you for having me. he has a lot of options. i think he could go a lot of different directions. he will respond. i am always surprised that senior leaders or national security experts don't listen to people. if you listen to what netanyahu said when he was at the u.n. general assembly and he talked about iran, he talked about moses and the book of samuel. they look at the fight against iran as a biblical lon

then we have the david sling air defense system name, dr. david's victory over goliath betraying is role as an under dog facing and much stronger enemy. and this is also derived from the old testament and is rose mcculla tech, which translates to the throne or chariot of god. so all sides are naming their weapons with religious symbolism. what's in a name? it seems quite a lot or the taiwan is being lost by the largest super time for me to hit the island and almost 30 years. tens of thousands of troops have been deployed to help with rescue efforts. typo kong, right, is bringing gusts of up to 250 kilometers on our stones. larger than the island itself. people across by once i've been told to stay at home, financial markets, schools and offices are all closed flights. are being cancelled. rick, loud is a senior reporter with time on test. usually joining us live from ty tongue good to have you with us. we can see the kind of conditions that you're having to break a far as there are just, are prepared or people for this sort stallman point 4 months. well, yes, taiwan is imposed by certain

so that air defense capability of israel, short range iron dome, medium david slings, long range arrow three, works brilliantly, but not perfectly. so there is a clear risk that an iranian serious strike, which is sustained for days, could cause serious damage on the ground. i think the other thing we got to look at, the israelis have two divisions up on the northern border, they just called up four more brigades, they're getting close to the point which they can conduct significant ground incursions. terrain, very difficult fight ahead, but there is zero possibility of them eliminating this gigantic hezbollah rocket and missile capability unless they go in on the ground. that will be a different kind of war. so we're in very perilous situation, the israelis are losing the information war, which astonishes me. we got to remind ourselves that this started with 7 october's demented attack on israel, hundreds murdered and abducted. hezbollah initiated their attack in solidarity on 8 october. they fired 7,000, 8,000 missiles at israel. so this is defensive warfare by israel to protect its

the idf says most strikes were intercepted by israel's air defense systems, the iron dome and david slings learned of iran's attack due diplomatic channels after tehran informed russia it be launching the assault while iran claims 80% of their missiles hit the targets in israel, let's go to trey yingst whose live on the ground in israel with actual numbers. what can you tell us? reporter: yeah, liz, good afternoon. we understand according to the israeli military, 180 ballistic missiles were launched from iranian territory toward israel. now the majority of them were intercepted but when you think about how big these missiles are, the shrapnel that comes down is still significant. we've also seen a number of videos causing large craters into the ground of israel, not just in the central part but also southern israel. at one place next to a school. the israeli defense system is not perfect and some of these missiles were able to slip past the system. we were just researching the cost per-launch whenever the israelis go to intercept one of these missiles and it cost $2 million per-intercepto

were some missiles that fell inside israel but i think most were neutralized by that iron dome, david's sling, an arrow defense system, the three layer defense system israel has built with american assistance. >> john: daniel hug ari set a couple fell in the southern part of the country and we saw some that have appeared to fall intoe mediterranean. with israel so heavily involved in gaza and now taking on hezbollah in quite an effective way, going after the pagers, backup radios, targeting leadership, taking out nasrallah, very, very bold move. does israel really want to get involved in iran right now? or doesn't want to sit back and wait? >> for the last 11 months cannot remember israel has been fighting seven fronts, at what they've been hearing from this my houses we don't want escalation. don't take this any further. israel has been listening largely to what the white house has been saying and what that's done is brought more violence. hezbollah has fired 8,000 rockets in israel. iran fired all these missiles, these shiite militias out of iraq and syria firing rockets and drones and miss

defense system was effective on its multi-layers different capabilities from the iron dome and david's sling and beyond and i think what is important, of course 180 ballistic missiles fired at israel with the intent to kill and cause death and destruction, failed what can you tell us about planning for an israeli response? he, prime minister here has said that he vows a response. very specifically on iran also want to talk about and what is going on with regard hezbollah, the iran backed group in lebanon. but what can you tell us about what that response? on iran might look like? and when it will take place very, very specific questions as always, becky, i think we need to understand the primary focus currently is destroying hezbollah's capabilities on the border with israel to restore safety and security and bring home the 60,000 i wasn't israelis that have been living out of home. >> if you want to ask what we can do nic robertson was on a flight to yemen when we conduct the strikes against the houthis just the two days ago. and i think that illustrates our ability to go long distances to

israel also has david's sling. that's for medium altitude incoming rockets. two missiles.y also have something called the arrow, which is high altitude and it was tested up until about the 2012 timeframe and put into service. >> the u.s. >> before that, when i was commander in europe, we used to lone patriot pac threes with their cruise to israel, and we used to have those patriot pack threes going against high altitude weapons. well, the thad system is very, very different. it's something called a kinetic kill technology. it doesn't have a round that goes off against another missile and blows up close by. it has a direct impact with a just a kinetic kill against the missile. so it actually strikes the incoming anti the incoming ballistic missile system. the u.s. is deploying a us battery, as nick said, it's got about 100 soldiers as part of it. it will have six launchers and each launcher can fire about eight missiles at a time. you've up the potential to strike the anti-ballistic are two uses anti-ballistic missiles coming in from iran if there is a reaction to any kind

you need patriot batteries, iron dome, david sling, arrow. there's a long series of these.y have to be integrated together. i'm confident israel can protect itself but will occasionally something get through, unfortunately, yes. >> now, israel has injured in their attacks against hezbollah, a number of u.n. troops that have been there. they've been in that area that was supposed to be a non weapon ized area. i have heard u.s. officials telling me they are critical of unifil because they accept the israeli intel that there are tunnels and weapons buried in homes and tunnels right in that area. right on the border. and that this was done under the nose of unifil. not to excuse any attacks that endangered u.n. peace keepers, but as you know, ongoing feud between israel, netanyahu in particular, and the united nations. >> indeed, there is. and if i were israel, i would be intensely frustrated with the failures of the u.n. mission. if the u.n. mission were doing its job and ensuring that there was a significant demilitarized zone just to the north of the israeli border up to the
