The past year was very good security-wise. The low number of attacks and victims gave Israelis a relatively high feeling of security, and the intensive focus on coronavirus (and elections) pushed aside other issues that in normal times would have made headlines.
But the security challenges are here to stay. The new government, when it is formed, will not be able to avoid them, and top of the list is Iran. Behind the scenes, preparations are already underway for these marathon discussions, which take place mainly within the IDF, and specifically in the new unit formed last year to deal with Iran and strategic issues – the Strategy and Third-Circle Directorate.
The man heading this unit, Tal Kalman, is one of the most-cautious generals in the General Staff, and his statements here, in his first and exclusive interview, portray exactly the threats and possible responses – including military – but also hold a warning: to avoid dealing with these problems could pose a strategic threat for Israel.
Kalman says 2020 was a good year for the battle against Iran. "I don't want to call it a turning point year, but it was a year of major changes." It began with the killing of Qassem Suleimani, and continued with "a sequence of events that I mostly can't elaborate on, which made the balance positive, even very positive."

will the arabs bribe them to do it?
Sure they do.
All the Israelis have to do is fly over Arab countries to hostile Iran which is equipped with the best SAMs the Sov, er, Russians will export, to bomb heavily reinforces sites.
I’d laugh except the Israelis seem to have pulled this off before...
For now. The White Hut resident, who will soon give over to Heels Up Harris, will do all he can to help Iran get nukes and change the political dynamics of the Mid-East against Israel (and in favor of the mooselimbs)...
So what in the world are they waiting for??
Mutual Assured Destruction - MAD, or the “nuclear option”.
It can only be used once.
Without saying more, all I will say is that every facility has entries and exits.
Throw in the existence of bunker busting tech and solutions abound.
IMHO. ;-)
It can only be used once.
Thanks Roman_War_Criminal.
The question is what effect will the 200 billion dollar Iran-China deal have on Israel plans?
Iran will certainly ask for weapons and likely more help with making ICBMs and nuclear weapons - China gave nukes to Pakistan, so why not Iran?
They did do it before. Twice, actually if you count the attack on the nascent Syrian reactor.
But they don’t have to do it the same way. Sabotage works just as well as bombs dropping from the sky.
Maybe the Israelis have some more malware ready!
That would be a hoot!
I’m sure they do.
They also have Iranian rebel groups to help them.
They were probably behind the Stuxnet thing. They were also probably behind multiple incidents of Iranian nuclear scientists who had spontaneous “car problems”.
When Irans centrifuges turn into slurpee
Makers, we’ll know why
The Sunni Moose Limbs do not presently see this as doing them a favor.
