From the transcript
In the car dark hours of the night, on Saturday, 13 April 2024, air raid siren sounded off across Israel. Around the world, alert chimed and cell phones fled to life, alerting any person with even the most basic access to modern media that an attack was coming.
Dozens of drones have lifted off from Iran, more on their way, on a long, slow march across the Middle East with Israel directly in the crosshairs.
For people just tuning in, the attack was both perplexing and deeply worrying, launched by a far stronger and more fearsome adversary than the Hamas organization Israel was supposed to be fighting in Gaza.
