Earlier this week, a researcher at the Israeli Institute for National Security and a former member of the military establishment said that the agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran to resume diplomatic ties last month is an additional diplomatic achievement for Tehran.

The researcher stated that when analyzing the repercussions of the Saudi-Iranian agreement on "Israel", the Ansar Allah movement, which sees America and "Israel" as enemies that must be eliminated, must be taken into account.

He stated that Ansar Allah is armed with advanced weaponry and possesses advanced command and control techniques that enable them to attack targets in both Gulf states and Saudi Arabia at once, noting that this armament includes surface and cruise missiles with different ranges, anti-tank missiles, and attack drones.

According to the researcher, the attack on Abu Dhabi in January 2022 indicates the possibility that an attack could potentially come from Yemen, as Eilat is located less than 2,000 km from the northwestern border of Yemen, while the attack in Abu Dhabi was made at a distance of about 1,500 km.
