Israeli military leaders, intelligence, and security apparatuses are working tirelessly to prepare plans on multiple fronts. First of all, the response to Iran after the large-scale attack on October 1st, which, as US sources reported, is "imminent."
Then internal security in view of feared attacks on civilians on the anniversary of October 7 and the expansion of operations in Gaza one year after the massacre. Then the expansion of ground operations in southern Lebanon, heavy raids on the neighborhood where Hezbollah is based in Beirut, the military blockade of Lebanese airspace, in addition to the bombing - after those of other crossings in recent days - of the Masnaa crossing, between Syria and Lebanon, to prevent the arrival of weapons shipped to Shiite militias.
"Iran is behind all the threats against us. They have launched hundreds of missiles against us in one of the largest attacks in history. No country in the world would accept such an attack, and not even Israel will accept it. We have the duty and the right to defend ourselves and respond to such attacks. And that is what we will do," Benjamin Netanyahu announced in the evening bluntly, pointing the finger at French leader Emmanuel Macron who had called for an embargo on Israel of the weapons it uses in Gaza. "Shame," the Israeli prime minister addressed him, assuring that the Jewish state "will win with or without its support" and that of "other Western leaders." But "their shame," Bibi accused, "will last a long time," even after the war is won.
