Israel’s Satellite Technology Gives Edge in Potential Conflicts with Iran and Houthis

Israel is enhancing its military capabilities through advanced satellite technology, which promises to make its attacks more potent. This technological advancement enables the swift identification of targets and facilitates real-time intelligence, thereby allowing rapid adjustments to attack strategies. The focus is on potential adversaries, particularly Iran and the Houthi rebels in Yemen. The Ofek-series satellites are key in gathering crucial intelligence, while the Dror-1 communication satellite strengthens Israel’s communication infrastructure. The technology allows Israel to monitor significant areas of Iran and has also been used in approximately 20 retaliatory strikes against the Houthis in Yemen since mid-2024. This technology provides real-time information and allows Israel to adjust actions quickly.
