In Israel preparations are feverish, Iranian attack can happen at any time and the Jewish State cannot be caught unprepared, on the contrary. If Israel were to discover Hezbollah’s intentions in advance, and here comes into play the war of spies, information and counter-information, smoke screens and overt and covert diplomacy, IDF could act early to counter the attack by hitting the ramps before the missiles launch.
This one though it’s just one side of the cointhe other, and it is obvious to anyone who understands anything about the Middle East, is the feverish preparation in the Jewish state for the possibility that the war will begin without any information about the enemy’s moves. In either case, it is impossible for Jerusalem to be unprepared. Politics also play a role in all this tension because both the security establishment and the government believe that launching a preemptive attack against Hezbollah on the model of the Six-Day War of 1967 is not the right thing to do at this time.
In short: the Ayatollahs, between American promises and threats, and also for fear of Israeli retaliation which this time would not be symbolic like the previous one but could hit important assets of the Iranian system, see with the passing of the days the effect of power of the Shiite dominion losing with many greetings towards the Sunni one.
See Ayatollāh Seyyed ʿAlī Ḥoseynī KhāmeneīIran’s supreme leader looking at the sky with a fearful expression during the funerals of Isma’il Haniyeh and Esmail Qaani, the commander of the Quds Force and successor to Qasem Soleimani, who at the same funeral wore a woman’s veil on his head so as not to be recognized from above, explains more than a hundred comments and a thousand analyses how the leaders of power in Tehran are experiencing this historic moment.
Surely the Israeli response to Iran and Hezbollah will depend to a large extent on the extent of the damage and the number of victims that will occur after the first strike, within the General Staff and especially in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, many are convinced that this will be the way in which events will be judged. In a rational manner and according to what will actually happen. Probably precisely on the basis of this theory, Jerusalem will decide the type and scope of a possible counter-offensive.
As proof that despite what is happening on the borders with Lebanon, Hezbollah continuously launches drones and missiles Towards the northern cities, Israel is in no hurry, Defense Minister Gallant has spoken in recent days with a number of figures: US Defense Minister Austin, the British Defense Minister, the Italian Defense Minister and the German Defense Minister.
Not that Israel is looking for allies in Europehistory teaches us that except for a few nations, always the same ones, when the need arises the old continent always waits and then jumps on the winner’s bandwagon. These contacts with European leaders serve more than anything else as a warning of the fact that a possible widening of the conflict could also involve nations that are part of the European Union.
If we add to all this that after the targeted killing of Isma’il Haniyeh what remains of Hamas has decided to pass on to Yahya Sinwar what were the duties of the late leader, we find ourselves in the absurdity that Sinwar, also known by the name of butcher of Khan Younisbecomes the military leader and also the political leader of the terrorist organization, much to the chagrin of all those who until now have juggled in dividing the military part of Hamas from the political one.
At this point the mask has probably fallen for them too. Probably, because there is none so deaf as he who does not want to hear and, above all, there is none so blind as he who does not want to see.
