June 17 | 10:30 – 12pm, Monday Presented by: Thomas Eastwood Naples Center / Online via Zoom Join a former counterintelligence officer in a discussion of the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel. How did Israel (and the U.S.) fail to predict the attack? Israel has some of the best intelligence and border security policies of any nation in the world. Was it a failure to collect the clues or were warnings misinterpreted or ignored? This lecture discusses intelligence and military gaffes, not politics. We also examine the structure and history of Israeli intelligence.  The Spanish Armada – A Magnificent Myth! June 18 | 10 – 11:30am Tuesday Presented by: Nancy Maxwell Naples Center / Online via Zoom What a sight to behold! Hundreds of Spanish ships coursing their way up the coast of Europe towards England. The two countries had been on a collision course for decades, and now, in 1588, they were headed for a showdown. Spanish wealth and power, as everyone knew (or thought they knew) was unlimited, and the Armada was supposed to be invincible. To everyone’s surprise, the English survived, and the myths that began around that event continue to this day. This lecture examines the facts and the fiction of this fateful battle between Spain and England.  iPhone/iPad: Tips, Tricks and Secrets All Users Should Know June 18 | 10:30 – 12pm, Tuesday Presented by: John Guerra Naples Center / Online via Zoom Join this lecture-style presentation to learn all the new features, upgrades and enhance- ments of Apple’s newest operating system for iPhone and iPad, iOS 17.
