This is The Danger Closed Podcast, beyond the books with me, Jack Connor.

Welcome to The Danger Closed Podcast, an Iron Cloud original presented by Navy Federal

Credit Union.

My guest today is Yakov Katz, he is a columnist for the Jerusalem Post, a senior fellow at

the Jewish People Policy Institute, spent a year at Harvard doing a fellowship in journalism

and as the author of Shadow Strike, Inside Israel's Secret Mission to Eliminate Syrian Nuclear

Power, which I highly recommend to everyone not just for the mission itself, but for the

broader context that it provides for the region in general.

And now, without further ado, Yakov Katz.

I really appreciate you taking the time to do this.

I know how much you have going on.

I know you have family members involved in the response to the October 7th events.

And this right here, we'll hold this up so we just talked about it as far as being

a fan.

Although this isn't about exactly what happened over the last couple of weeks here.

It provides a greater context, I think.

People to pick up Shadow Strike, your book about a mission to destroy a Syrian nuclear

reactor.

It'll provide greater context, I think, to what's going on now, military side and politically

as well.

So thank you for writing this.

And I want to ask you something about the end.
