Israels goal of peaceful co-existence with its surrounding neighbors has not prevented the IDF from taking the necessary steps to prepare for a potential war.
Tensions have been rising on Israels northern borders with Syria and Lebanon over the past few weeks. On February 10, the IDF shot down an Iranian drone, which had entered Israeli airspace in a clear violation of Israels sovereignty.
In response to this escalated act of aggression by Iran, the IDF launched several attacks against targets in Iran and Syria.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently visited the northern border, along with top security officials.
Our face is turned toward peace, we are ready for any eventuality, and I dont suggest anyone test us, Netanyahu said following the visit.

The way the troops are on high alert in the north means this could happen any day now.
Since 1967 went way better than 1973 (proactive vs. reactive), I’d imagine the next war will be another preemptive measure by the IDF.
Never underestimate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, or the IDF! They will whoop ass!
Preemptive indeed
How about a dose of foreign policy heresy
Maybe they should accept Assad as Syria’s leader, Russia as a permanent tenant at Tartus, and work out ways to accommodate Syria’s national security interests that supplant Assad’s need to rely on Iran instead of constantly justifying his need for more weapons and more Russians and Iranians
Maybe Syria and Israel should both wise up and stop being patsies for the Saudis who control US foreign policy and proxies for the neocons like McCain and Graham who can’t let the Russian-Cold War end
Not going to happen.
There’s too many players in that small area now for a fire not to break out.
Israeli leadership will never allow their people to be victimized again and Assad will die a million deaths before “wising up” to make a concession to Israel.
Russia will be destroyed in the next war too. Laugh at that all you want.

Can we annex parts of Russia like they did with Crimea and other places? >:D
I’m sure China and the EU might.
Ez 38, 39? I certainly am not laughing. 😇
Maye we can give away the Southwest USA to Mexico like Krushchev did with giving Crimea to Ukraine
Neither am I.
But there are always those that will. The naive, the lazy, the fools... You know who they are.
Yes, we know some of them. The responsibility is in their own hands. 👍
Did you see Amir Tsarfatis latest Update from Tel Aviv?
+1 This is a result of their bizarre efforts to depose Assad and install a Sunni theocracy.
“Russia will be destroyed in the next war too. Laugh at that all you want.”
General Turgidson, is that you?
I haven’t yet - I will watch it tonight. I’m sure it was good.
Between his updates, Farag’s and John Haller’s it seems like the sirens are going off everywhere.
“Now I’m not saying we won’t get our hair mussed...”
;^)
Except this time their enemies will have Russian missile battery cover: interlinked S-400s, S-300s and S-200s to contend with. Then there are the mass produced Iranian drone bombs, T-90 tanks among other weapons SAA and Iranian forces will have at their disposal, plus unlike the other wars, the enemy will be battle hardened and advance under hail of thousands of Hezbollah missiles.
The IDF may not have an easy time and it is possible they will not prevail to the extent of previous battles.
Wise move.
Always be prepared for the worst case scenario.
That way you’re not caught flat footed.
But I AM saying 10-20 million killed...
TOP!!!
(Great movie - dark humor but great)

I saw him speak in January, in Davao City. It was inspirational.
