Israeli Satellites Took Tens of Millions of Photos of Iran
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - Israeli satellites took tens of millions of photos of Iranian territory leading up to, and during, the recent war, the Defense Ministry announced Tuesday. Israel's satellites were surveilling hundreds of different targets per day. They were able to maintain real-time constant tactical and operational surveillance of many places. The satellites were able to achieve new levels of immediate battle damage assessments, quickly determining the effectiveness of strikes. Israel's newest satellite, Ofek 13, was introduced into use in March 2023. At the time, Avi Berger, the head of the Defense Ministry's Space Directorate, said, "Ofek 13 is a radar-based observation satellite with the most advanced capabilities of its kind in the world, all of which are the result of Israeli development."
