I decided to pursue medicine once I
0:09
realized that ASU did have the online
0:11
program for biological sciences. You're
0:13
still required to learn the same
0:15
curriculum. You're still being tested on
0:17
the same content that anyone would be
0:19
tested on in person. The
0:21
comprehensiveness of the program
0:23
prepared me so well for medical school.

announced that an emergency hotline has

been activated at the National Institute
4:00
as multiple wars in the Middle East
4:02
appear unabated. Israel, the main
4:05
defender and attacker on multiple
4:06
waterfronts in the city of Gaza,
4:09
Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, and now Syria, has
4:12
ordered the Israel Aerospace Industries,
4:15
IIA, to mass-roduce arrow missiles
4:17
interceptors in a very large numbers,
4:19
with the Israel Ministry of Defense
4:21
saying that the state of Israel has
4:23
increased its defense spending for 2025
4:26
and 2026 to 42 billion new Israeli
4:29
shekels, which is approximately 12.5
4:34
During the 12-day war with Iran, there
4:36
were multiple reports that Israel was
4:38
running low on arrow missiles
4:40
interceptors defense system. As Iran
4:42
longrange missiles were seen hitting
4:44
targets in Israel, aerospace observers
4:47
said the advanced arrow highaltitude
4:50
defense systems are critical to
4:52
countering long range ballistic missile
4:54
threats like those launched from Iran
4:56
during the 12-day war in June 2025.

According to the Israel Ministry of
5:02
Defense in a press statement on
5:04
Thursday, the director general of the
5:06
Israel Ministry of Defense IMOD Major
5:09
General Reserveist Amir Baram signed a
5:12
production contract to significantly
5:14
accelerate the serial production of
5:16
arrow interceptors at IIrael Aerospace
5:20
Industries. As part of the deal, IIA
5:23
will supply the IMOD with a significant
5:26
additional amount of arrow interceptors.
5:28
The deal was led by Moshe Patel,
5:31
director of the Israel Missile Defense
5:33
Organization, IMDO, within the
5:36
Ministry's Directorate of Defense
5:38
Research and Development, DDRD.
5:41
The ARO system developed and
5:43
manufactured in cooperation with the US
5:46
Missile Defense Agency, MDA,
5:48
demonstrated significant interception
5:51
capabilities during the Swords of Iron
5:53
War, especially during Operation Rising
5:56
Lion. The system provides
5:58
exoathmospheric and endoatmospheric
6:00
interception capabilities against
6:02
ballistic missile threats, protecting
6:04
the state of Israel from strategic long
6:07
range threats. The Arrow system
6:09
integrates cuttingedge technologies and
6:12
is considered one of the world's most
6:14
advanced air and missile defense
6:15
systems. IA is the prime contractor for
6:19
developing the arrow system and its
6:21
interceptors through its MLM facility in
6:24
partnership with the US company Stark
6:26
Aerospace. Other partners include IAI
6:29
Zelta and TAMUM divisions, Elbert
6:32
Systems, Toma and Raphael Advanced
6:35
Defense Systems. The US Missile Defense
6:38
Agency, MDA, is a major partner of the
6:41
IMDO at the ministry's DDRD in the
6:45
development and production of Israel's
6:47
multi-layered defense systems, including
6:49
the Arrow and David's Sling weapon
6:51
systems and the production of Iron Dome
6:54
defense system components. The strategic
6:57
cooperation between the MDA and the IMDO
7:00
helps ensure Israel's technological edge
7:02
in air and missile defense. Also on
7:05
Thursday, Israel Aerospace Industries
7:08
IIAI in a statement said, "Israel is
7:11
reinforcing its defenses on all fronts
7:14
at full speed. In a major move to
7:17
strengthen national security, the
7:19
Ministry of Defense has signed a
7:21
significant production contract with
7:23
Israel Aerospace Industries, IIA, to
7:26
fasttrack the mass production of arrow
7:29
This strategic shortly after Prime
7:31
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned
7:34
from the United States US on Sunday
7:36
where he had paid an official visit to
7:38
the US president, Donald Trump,
7:41
lawmakers and other US government
7:43
officials. The misunderstanding between
7:45
Bedawin and Drews tribes in the Swider
7:48
region of Syria that started last Friday
7:50
took a new twist, evolving into a deadly
7:53
conflict after a Drews man was robbed at
7:56
gunpoint on Friday by gunman suspected
7:58
to be natives of Bedawin tribe. This
8:01
Drews residence in Swider shortly on
8:03
Friday mobilized went after the people
8:05
of Bedawin arrested and detained a lot
8:08
of natives from the Bedawin tribe
8:10
forcing the people of Bedawan to
8:12
retaliate and the conflicts led to mass
8:14
killings unabated. And on Tuesday, the
8:17
Syria interim government soldiers
8:18
entered swider reportedly to restore law
8:21
and order. But Israelbased media
8:24
reported that the Syria interim
8:26
government soldiers, mostly members of
8:28
the Hayat Taher al-Sh
8:31
assisted and joined the Bedawin militias
8:33
to kill the people of Drews and in a
8:35
swift response the office of the prime
8:37
minister of Israel in a press statement
8:40
on Tuesday said the prime minister
8:43
Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israel
8:45
minister of defense Israel cats have
8:47
authorized the Israel Defense Forces IDF
8:50
to attack Syria interim regime forces
8:53

8:56
Hussein al-Sharahu Israel policy forum
8:59
in a publication published in December
9:01
2024 stated that the new Syria presents
9:05
fresh challenges for Israel stating that
9:07
the Turkeybacked Sunni jihadist group he
9:10
taher al- Sham HTS was an al-Qaeda's
9:14
former Syrian branch and its leader Abu
9:17
Muhammad al- Jolani Golani also known as
9:20
Ahmed Hussein al-Sharab who is the
9:23
current interim president of Syria was a
9:25
member of an early version of the
9:27
Islamic State saying Jolan's chosen last
9:30
name also foreshadows conflict over
9:33
territory that his family hails from the
9:36
golden heights which Israel partly
9:38
occupied after the 1973 war and annexed
9:41
in 1981 although President Al- Sharah in
9:45
nationwide broadcast on Thursday after
9:47
ceasefire began around 900 p.m. on
9:50
Wednesday night said that the protection
9:52
of Drew's people is a top priority in
9:54
his interim government. But he's not
9:56
afraid of Israel that bombed the Syria
9:58
military headquarters and the military
10:00
base near Syria presidential palace in
10:02
Damascus on Wednesday that led to the
10:04
death of five persons in addition to
10:06
more than 300 people killed less than a
10:09
week. The new conflict ensued. According
10:12
to Reuters reporters, warplanes swooped
10:14
low over the Syria capital and unleash a
10:17
series of massive strikes on central
10:19
Damascus. The cityscape was blanketed in
10:22
smoke with a thick plume rising from the
10:24
defense ministry. We are acting
10:27
decisively to prevent the entrenchment
10:29
of hostile elements beyond the border,
10:31
protect Israeli citizens, and prevent
10:34
harm to Drew civilians, the Israel chief
10:36
of general staff, Lieutenant General Al
10:39
Zamir stated during a situational
10:41
assessment at the Syrian border after
10:43
the IDF strikes on Wednesday. The
10:46
attacks carried out by Israel this time
10:48
on central Damascus following its
10:51
military interventions in southern Syria
10:53
constitute a deliberate attempt to
10:55
sabotage Syria's efforts to achieve
10:57
peace, stability, and security. Turkey
