Iran Struck Advanced U.S. Radar in Qatar
(Ynet News) Lior Ben Ari - Satellite images from Planet Labs show the damage caused Saturday to the Al-Khor strategic radar site, north of the U.S. Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar. Military affairs analyst Ron Ben-Yishai said the radar was not completely disabled and work is underway to repair it quickly. The damage to the radar makes it more difficult for Patriot and THAAD missile defense batteries protecting Qatar, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, shortening their detection time and window for interception. According to the Institute for National Security Studies data center, the UAE was targeted by 941 drones, 189 ballistic missiles and eight cruise missiles. Iran fired 92 drones and 74 missiles at Bahrain; 41 drones and 112 missiles at Qatar; 36 drones and 13 missiles at Jordan; 178 missiles and 384 drones at Kuwait; and 14 drones and five cruise missiles at Saudi Arabia. Other Iranian targets included Iraqi Kurdistan, Oman and Cyprus.
