Israel Braces for Potential Month-Long War with Iran


(MENAFN) The Israeli Defense Forces are making preparations for a situation in which hostilities with Iran and its allied groups could endure for at least a month, according to an official cited by a newspaper.

The official noted that military leaders in Israel have heightened readiness levels across multiple combat divisions, anticipating further developments and the possible widening of clashes in the near future.

Preparations reportedly involve reinforcing air defense systems, positioning extra troops, and planning for prolonged operations if current skirmishes persist or expand to other areas.

These statements come amid a period of exceptional escalation in the region, with ongoing reciprocal strikes between Israel and Iran, alongside heightened security tensions across several fronts.

Analysts observe that Israel’s focus on preparing for a relatively extended war indicates concern within its security apparatus that the current confrontations could escalate into a broader regional conflict, potentially lasting several weeks or more.
