Hey, twenty nine the fifty five krc DE talk station. It being Tuesday, it is the time the illiterative segment of the fifty five KRCCEN Morning Show Daniel Davis Deep Die find him online retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis every Tuesday at this time. And of course, given it's been one full year and I'm still it's still blowing my mind that it's been a full year since the October seventh terrorist attack on Israel. Welcome back Daniel Davis to
talk about that. It's good to have you back on sir. Always great to be here, Brian. So beyond the reality that it has been a full year in an event that just seems literally like it happened yesterday, I got a question for you. And with the benefit of hindsight and all that's gone on with the you know, the the intruth we have now Gaza that has been largely cleared out with some measure of success dealing with the
situation in Lebanon with the other group of terrorists. And now they thought that well, because Iran launched a couple of hundred missiles at Israel. Israel's just figuring out the best point in time to start bombing Iran, which freaks over lady out. And I understand that question, though, did do you think the Iranians were the ones behind the October seventh invasion? In other words, go in from Gaza
and attack Israel? These are your directions, your instructions or did the terrorists just sort of go on their own on that one? What's your take on that particular facet of it, Because if the Iranians did it or suggested or caused it to happen, I don't think this has worked out the way they really anticipated.
Yeah, a couple of things all that very point number one, In the early month or so after the war, both the US and Israeli intelligence both confirmed publicly that they didn't see any evidence that Iran actually planned or orchestrated or directed the event at all. That's what they said earlier. Well, there was a report on the one year anniversary in the Israeli press looking back at the preparation for this, and they have concluded suthoritatively that it was not done
with Iran. In fact, it was hidden from Iran by Sineoar. Yeah, Sinoar, the leader of Halmas. And they talked about how elaborately and remarkably covertly. He was able to build up for a period of years prior to this event with these underground tunnels, had them stocked with all kinds of stuff. Uh.
And in fact, that's that's true. They said, this is bigger than the New York subway system, to give you a comparison here, And they said, only a small portion of those have been detective, and they still have lots of ammunition. They build their own rockets, they don't get They said, only a small portion was ever found to be from Iran, et cetera. So this was definitely a Hamas driven and a Hamas executed operation.
Well, and again going to my point that I don't think it's worked out the way Israel plan or the way Iran planned. The terrorist invasion from gods obviously horrific. You know, the idea that civilian targets were so to severely attack, rape, murdered, brutalized, burned alive, et cetera. We've heard all the accounts. Obviously Israel's going to respond. So now the terrast strongholding Gaza is back on its heels largely. That was I mean, having the terrorists in control of
Gaza was a benefit to Iran. I mean, they could constantly pester Israel through the rocket launches, you know, do their little hit and run kind of things without you know, basically in my procession, keeping Israel busy with the terrorist organizations while the Iranians go about their way building a bomb. I guess, well, that's up ended because you have the terrasts in Gaza being uprooted. You have the terrorists in Lebanon now slowly I presume in the same path being uprooted.
That reduces Israel's ability to reach out and touch or Iran's ability to reach out and touch Israel. Then they have to launch themselves two in rockets. Aren't they inviting war? All out war. I just I'm just trying to figure out which direction this is going, Daniel, I just really don't know.
Well, I think first of all, we have to also acknowledge that the Hamas side didn't just come out of nowhere, and they certainly weren't just uh pester in Israel for Iran's sake. This was all about uh what they view as being basically in apartheid state where they're being trapped and physically uh trapped inside the Go Strip and the gate there where they don't have the freedom to even
go outside of it, et cetera. And you may also recall that in the summer before October seventh there was up to two hundred Palestinians had been killed in the God's Strip in West Bank, and so that was just a boiling cauldron that finally exploded on October seventh. Now,
the second issue with Iran also there. This missile strike, this latest one as well as to one last April, came in direct response to an Israeli attack on the embassy, destroying the Iran embassy in Syria UH and then also assassinating UH, the leader from Hamas in the capital city during an auguration. So these were both directed back. So it's not as though out of nowhere Iran is doing this. So the question is in the bigger context, where is any of this going that's going to be good for Israel.
And that's my biggest problem and concerned because they're attacking the Houthis in Yemen, they're attacking targets in Syria. Of course, they're attacking. They continue to fight in the Gaza Strip. In fact, they have restarted an operation in the north because the Hamas continues to rise from the ashes. This is a NonStop situation. And of course now you're going into the southern eleven and that is we can talk a whole show about this. That is an enormous military
task Israel has undertaken. And if it then expands into full on war with Iran, I just honestly don't know how Israel can handle all those fronts.
Well, it certainly is. I think in the military they referred to it as a Charlie Foxtraw Daniel Davis.
I think that's a good one there.
Yeah, it is. I saw this interesting article and I wanted to run it by you. Reported on Newsmacks, but also elsewhere the Biden administration talking about a compensation package to avoid Iranian states or promising you a certain aid, extensive diplomatic backing and additional military aid if certain targets inside the Iranian territory are spared. So the US is trying to tell Israel what it can and cannot hit.
Is Israel even going to listen to the Biden administration in so far as this is concerned.
Well, there's very little evidence the Israeli has listened to their body administration on any topic. I mean, we could go down the list of all the things over the
last half year. But it is definitely an America's interest to avoid this escalating into an all at war because the concern is, as I just laid out this huge as ned Yahoo himself claims a seven front war, is that Israel gets in too far and this response from Iran, then if Israel stritched back to Iran the way they say they're going to, which is a hard and severe and painful strike, it is virtually certain that Iran will then retaliating in a much much larger way than it
did in the last two rounds, and Israel could be in a real world of hurt. And then there's the risk that they can't continue to fight the war unless the US comes in on their side. And that is correctly what animates the White House right now, because we
don't need to get drawn into a war. Because I promise you this is you think the Iraq war was bad, in the Afghanistan was you know this perpetual bleed, this one would be much worse because unlike those other two wars, Iran actually has the capacity to really hurt lots of people and Americans in the region, not the least of which is potentially shut down the Strait of more moves.
And close ties with some of our biggest enemies like Russia, for example, or Chinese Communist Party China.
They yeah, because see China's got some interest here too, because China doesn't want the Iranian oil infrastructure hit because they get about one point five millions per day from Iran and they're not going to be passive if that gets taken out.
Yeah, world War three just sounds like it's inevitable if we get involved in that level. Now in terms of Israel and its ability to continue to defend itself or defend itself from these missile strikes, there's got to be a finite amount of intercept on missiles, whether it's the
Dome system or any other form of system. And if the Iranians can just sort of you know, one hundred here, one hundred there over several week period or something, it seems to me that Israel at some point is going to exhaust these very expensive defensive weapons systems and it won't have them anymore to defend itself.
You are absolutely one hundred percent route that may be the Achilles Heel in this entire equation, not just for Israel, but for the US too. You had Jake Sullivan in Kiev last month openly admit that we don't have enough interceptor missiles to give Ukraine, forget about Israel, forget about any of our needs worldwide, because our production quality capability
isn't there to get more. And did an enormous amount of interceptors in April and also in this latest round here to defend Israel from our ships and then from our aircraft carriers. Israel by itself used a huge number
in the last one. And the issue from Iran, the risk is not just that they have, you know, one hundred and two hundred over a period of days, but that they could bring thousands in at a time and then thousands of drones, each of which would have to have an interceptor of some sort, and it is a very real possibility that they have more weapons to fire than Israel has interceptors to shoot down. And from that
point you are completely vulnerable to anything. That's why I say there is real risk for Israel and they need to be very very careful about how far they go.
In this nixt round. Just you paint a horrific picture, but it's reality. Daniel Davis Deep dive Daniel Davis. Search for them online you'll easily find him. Excellent breakdown.
