Al-Akhbar newspaper – Khadija Shukr
Throughout the years of confrontation with the Israeli occupation forces in the south before the year 2000, the enemy was constantly keeping pace with the evolution of the combat capabilities of the resistance groups and their various tactics and methods of action. In 2004, the enemy found itself facing a challenge of another kind, following the resistance announced that a drone belonging to it, called “Mersad 1”, had flown in the skies of northern Palestine. Then, Israel realized that it had to start preparing to confront resistance capabilities in the airspace. Since that time, Israel has not stopped trying to secure its airspace, and has made enormous efforts to that end, starting with deploying advanced radars along the northern border from Ras Al-Naqoura to the occupied Golan, with a relentless effort to develop the “Iron Dome” and trying to launch strikes. Variety, the most prominent of which was the assassination of the founder of the “March Corps” in the resistance, the martyr Hassan Laqis, in 2013.
But despite the Israeli efforts to secure a high level of airspace protection – so that the leaders of the enemy army believed that they had reached the top in this field – the resistance managed, last Friday, in less than an hour, to penetrate the protective layers that the Israeli occupation army developed over a period of 18 years, following the success of a mission The “tactical march”, which bears the name “Hassan”, in the mission assigned to it.
Well-informed sources in the resistance explained to Al-Akhbar the details of what happened. And it stated that “at 11:40, the plane, Hassan, took off from a point in southern Lebanon,” and despite all the means of early warning and monitoring, “the enemy was not able to detect the plane until at 12:10, following it crossed regarding 30 km in the sky of Palestine, and arrived To the Rosh Pina area, near the city of Safed. As soon as a “foreign body” was discovered in the air, sirens sounded, and attempts to identify the object began, before it turned out to be a “complete description” plane with “wings, a head and a tail,” as one of the resistance officers put it. Immediately, the Iron Dome platform fired a Tamir missile at the march, which missed its target. The Northern Command sent an F16 aircraft to accomplish the mission, but its high speed did not enable it to block the slow march, and it even passed along with it without being able to intercept it. After the failure of the “dome” and the warplane to shoot down the march, “the enemy sent helicopters to ambush north of Lake Tiberias, where the enemy believed that it would be the beginning of the march’s return path. Apache helicopters were able to locate the march over the lake, and fired a number of missiles at it. Its scheduled flight is within 40 minutes, and it traveled regarding 70 km inside Palestinian airspace.
The enemy’s failure to bring down the march revealed a major loophole in the work program of its security, military and technical services to secure a protection umbrella for the entire region. But the loss does not stop there. Rather, several points can be recorded in the last achievement, the most prominent of which is the resistance’s ability to penetrate multiple systems, phases, and layers, whose first mission is to protect Israeli airspace, without the advanced cameras and radars succeeding in detecting the plane before it entered Palestinian airspace.
A senior officer in the resistance confirms that the “Hassan” drone was able to “penetrate high-frequency sensor systems with precise receivers, such as the ADS monitoring system.” It overcame the signal detection systems (SIGNIT) and the radar and detection system (ULTRA C1), which is the largest radar developed by the enemy, installed on the top of Mount Hermon, and its main task is to hunt missiles and drones. It also managed to bypass the Iron Dome’s MMR radar system. In addition to bypassing the latest and most advanced of these systems, the “Sky Dew”, which the enemy raised east of Nazareth, months ago, to catch the low-flying drones.
In conclusion, the illusion of the “absolute ability” of the Israeli air defense, which is composed of several layers, fell, which means achieving a major breakthrough in the “security” of Palestinian airspace in general, and the airspace of the northern Galilee region in particular. Likewise, the ability of the enemy’s army command to control and exercise self-control was greatly shaken, as demonstrated by the army’s performance during the event, in addition to “the exposure of maneuvers and exercises.” Most important of all, according to resistance sources, is “the collapse of the security umbrella that used to shade the mobilization of the Israeli army and its spread throughout the north.”
What happened on Friday, in short, is that one plane, not exceeding three meters in width, plunged the enemy entity into a great whirlpool and complete confusion in northern Palestine, so what would happen if a squadron of dozens of these planes was launched? What if “Hassan” passed once more and was not satisfied with the weapon of the lens, but rather entered – through other weapons – the artificial entity of Israel in its worst nightmare?
