The world we knew is changing. In a stunning surprise attack, thousands of Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel, entering over 20 communities. For hours, they carried out a massacre, killing around 1,200 Israelis and kidnapping over 200 others to Gaza. This unprecedented event and intelligence failure represent the most significant security breach since Israel's establishment.
The fear now is palpable, extending beyond Hamas to Hezbollah in the north and the Iran-backed Shi'ite militia groups posing a growing threat to Israel.
Some things can only be truly understood by experiencing them firsthand. Itay Anghel takes us on an exclusive documentary journey through Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Ukraine to unravel the new power dynamics in our region.
In his lecture, he also sheds light on his behind-the-scenes operations in hostile countries. How does he, as an Israeli, navigate places like Syria or Iraq, often amidst Iran-backed Shi'ite militias and ISIS-controlled territories?
Dynamic maps illustrate Iran's expanding reach towards our borders, its manipulation of Hezbollah, and the potential implications for the next war we face.
