The satellite’s launch on Tuesday night came two months after a 12-day war between Israel and Iran, which saw Israel strike Iranian nuclear and military sites, as well as residential areas, more than 1,000 kilometers away.

Over 12,000 satellite images of Iranian territory were collected to direct the strikes, according to Daniel Gold, head of the defense ministry’s research and development directorate.
The operation “underscored that having advanced observation capabilities in our region is critical for achieving aerial and ground superiority,” said Boaz Levy, CEO of state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries, which worked on the project alongside the Ministry of Defense.
Israel joined the club of space powers in 1988 with the deployment of its first Ofek satellite.
