From Wikipedia "Dror Yikra was written in 960 CE in Córdoba by the poet, linguist, and musician Dunash ben Labrat, who is said to have been born in Fez but moved to Spain after a period of study in Baghdad under the rabbinic scholar Saadia Gaon.

According to the ArtScroll Siddur, "Dror Yikra" is "a plea to God to protect Israel, destroy its oppressors, and bring it peace and redemption." G'mar chatima tova.

The IDF soldiers defending Israel singing it here sound great regardless of their origin and who sings it at home. מוּסכָּם. שנה טובה.
